What is RFM segment in SAP (CRM-ANA - CRM Analytics)?

SAP Term: RFM segment

• Component: CRM-ANA

• Component Name: CRM Analytics

• Key Concepts: 
  RFM segmentation is a method of customer segmentation used in CRM Analytics. It stands for Recency, Frequency, and Monetary value. This method of segmentation is based on the idea that customers who have recently purchased, purchase frequently, and spend more money are more valuable to a business. 
  
  How to use it: 
  RFM segmentation can be used to identify customers who are most likely to respond to marketing campaigns or who are most likely to purchase additional products or services. It can also be used to identify customers who are at risk of leaving the business or who need additional support. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using RFM segmentation, it is important to consider the customer’s lifetime value rather than just their current value. This will help you identify customers who may not be currently active but have the potential to become valuable customers in the future.
