Each combo was numbered from 5(most value) to 1(least value)

Example: Using RFM for a Promotion • The Test group of 30000 was selected Example: Using RFM for a Promotion • The Test group of 30000 was selected using an Nth • A Breakeven Index is calculated for each of the 125 cells using the actual responses • Breakeven is the response rate required for the net profit from promotion to a test group to exactly equal cost

Example: Using RFM for a Promotion • The company found that only 34 of Example: Using RFM for a Promotion • The company found that only 34 of the 125 RFM cells broke even • The final promotional offer was mailed to only people in the 34 cells with positive breakeven • Response rate and profits were higher by not promoting to people unlikely to respond
