RFM is a method used for analysing customer value. It is commonly used in Retail but can also be applied to Hospitality.
Each customer has a score with three dimensions. We use 1 to 5 for each dimension.
RFM is regularly recalculated and provides a useful set of segments and can help you target a smaller segment of your customer base with more relevant marketing.
An RFM of 555, indicates a customer who has been recently, comes regularly and spends above average. These are loyal customers who spend the most and you can tailor your marketing to this audience for greatest effect.
This chart if a simplified look at RFM and come be used for more effective and targeted marketing.
