RFM Analysis & Customer Segmentation

The problem

Treating all customers the same way wastes marketing budget, overlooks the most loyal customers, and lets at-risk customers slip away unnoticed.

The solution

I calculate recency, frequency, and monetary value for each customer, segment them into clear groups, and translate each segment into a suggested marketing action.

What I will do

• Calculating RFM metrics per customer
• Segmenting customers into groups
• Describing each segment and linking it to a practical recommendation

What you get

• Identification of your most valuable customers (Champions)
• Flagging of customers at risk of churning
• Customer segments that translate directly into marketing action
• A baseline for measuring future campaign effectiveness

Deliverables

• A customer segmentation table
• A report describing each segment's characteristics and recommended action
• A simplified segment overview dashboard (optional)
