Identify behaviour in response and purchase. As customers progress through the life
cycle shown in Figure 9.21, though analysis of the database, they will be able to build up a
detailed response and purchase history which considers the details of recency, frequency,
monetary value and category of products purchased. This approach, which is known as
‘RFM or FRAC analysis’, is reviewed below. See Case study 9.1 for how Tesco target their
online customers.
