A marketing analysis tool used to identify a firm's best customers by measuring certain factors. The RFM model is based on three quantitative factors:

Recency - How recently a customer has made a purchase
Frequency - How often a customer makes a purchase
Monetary - How much money a customer spends on purchases

RFM analysis often supports the marketing adage that "80% of business comes from 20% of the customers."
