As a company's customer base grows, it needs to identify it's most valuable customers in order to efficiently manage marketing and increase customer retention. They can then have a more proactive relationship management plan.

  • RFM analysis is based on the marketing axiom that "80% of your business comes from 20% of your customers."
  • We have analyzed the customer's data and then developed a custom RFM algorithm to identify customer segments
  • BizViz has defined the customer segments as follows:
  • Best Customers - Customers who have placed many orders and made their last purchase recently. They have greater value and are more likely to buy again.
  • New Customers - Customers who placed a few orders (1-3) recently. Although they have a lower value, they have the potential to move into the 'Best Customer' segment.
