Overview

RFM Segmentation Analysis is a data-driven customer segmentation technique used by businesses to understand and categorize their customers based on their past purchasing behavior.

Really loved the idea, both the real-world application and the illustrations! The real-world example made RFM analysis easy to understand. Super helpful for someone like me who learns better with practical stuff. Can't wait for more tutorials like this – simple, clear, and straight to the point. Great job!

What a great practical resource for understanding RFM and how it is used (I bookmarked it). Even though RFM is a very classic segmentation method, many of our customers often struggle to understand the basics or why this is important. I am looking forward to the release of Templates and SQL Builder to see the magic behind RFM and RFM Historical implementation.
