Frequently Asked Questions

What is RFM Analysis?

RFM stands for Recency, Frequency, and Monetary value. It is a marketing technique used to quantitatively rank and group customers based on their purchasing history.

Can I use RFM for B2B?

Yes, but the thresholds change. Frequency might be 'contract renewals' and Monetary might be 'contract value'.

Does RFM replace CLV?

No. RFM measures *past* behavior. CLV (Customer Lifetime Value) predicts *future* value. However, RFM is a key input for calculating CLV.

How often should I recalculate RFM?

Ideally, daily or weekly. Customers move between segments constantly. A 'Recent User' today becomes 'At Risk' in 60 days if they don't buy again.
