Definition
RFM scores every customer on three axes - when they last bought, how often, and how much - producing tiers from champions to hibernating. Campaigns aimed at RFM tiers (winback for lapsing, VIP for champions) outperform batch-and-blast by wide margins.
Why it matters
RFM is the cheapest retention upgrade in existence: one model, immediate list clarity, campaigns that feel personal.
