Using the eRFM block in segment builder

Learn how to use the eRFM block in the segment builder to target contacts based on their opportunity score.

Overview

eRFM is our ecommerce behavioural model is designed to help you better understand the potential of your contacts.

We've combined our RFM model (Recency, Frequency, and Monetary) that looks at a contact's purchasing behaviour with our engagement model that looks at the engagement of a contact – for example, their email opens and clicks, web sessions, and abandoned carts.

When we combine these models, we can better understand and detect purchase intent across various customer types – from inactive contacts to champions. These are called Opportunities.
