Targeting
and segmentation methods for email marketing are becoming increasingly
sophisticated and complex.
If you are
“in the business” it is easy to fall into the trap of focusing on the “how”
rather than the “why” and the “when” and forgetting what the whole point of the
exercise is.

Inbox.
So how can we use this knowledge to ensure better inbox placement in
Gmail? And is this news to us anyway?

If you could only send one more marketing email, what type
of email would it be?
Would it be acquisition? Retention? A bit of cross selling perhaps? Let’s face it,
the options are almost endless! If you’re like me, you probably want it to be
the one that makes the most money.

RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary value) segmentation is one
of the most tried and tested methods of segmentation used in direct marketing.
It is based on the presumption that someone’s future actions are best predicted
by their past ones.
So how can this popular method of segmentation be used in today’s
data rich world, can it help answer the 64 million dollar question in email
marketing: who do I send what to and when do I send it?
