Priority Potential RFM

After learning what is the RFM algorithm in my previous post. I would like to write today about my adjustments and improvements that helped me during these years as an online marketer.

I call it the Priority Potential RFM or just PPRFM.

P - Priority (who to contact first)
P - Potential (predicting lifetime value of a customer)
R – Recency (most recent deposit)
F – Frequency (how many times he deposited)
M – Monetary (Lifetime Deposits)

Please see attached diagram I did for an online gaming company:

Remember we are not changing the RFM algorithm we are just adding two new add-ons.

Priority - everything should work according to who do you want to contact first and why.

Potential - In this section you put everything you think might influence a customer to buy your product or not. It can be various things so try to think what are the characteristics that differentiate your purchasing customers from your customers that still didn't buy from you and segment them according to that.

For example your database shows that Americans ages 45 - 62 have high life expectancy and high CLV. So when a new customer from Arizona, USA, age 61 signs up with you. He will have higher potential than a customer from Arizona, USA age 24.

Remember that every customer has the potential to spread your story to other potential candidates, so treat them with respect and segment them correctly.

The innovators and the early adopters, can you spot them?

Before I start this post. I would like to thank TED talks for helping me enrich my world of marketing and more. One of the best talks I ever heard was made by  Simon Sinek  and was about how great leaders inspire action. In this post I would like to emphasis the change in my approach towards contacting customers and in which way to do it. Simon presented the following diagram: We need to talk to our customers from the inside to the outside. Conveying why we do things, how we do it and at last the what we do. As Simon said, people follow the why you do it and not the what you do.  Then he spoke about the innovators and the late adapters using the following diagram: Where he brakes down your customers into groups, where the innovators pass your story along with the early adopters.  The 80/20 rule also can be adjusted according to this diagram: 1. The Innovators - 2.5% - your top VIPs 2. Early Adopters - 13.5% - 2nd level VIPs 3....

Terminology you should know before starting your online gaming company

In this post I will try to layout the most important terms you need to know before starting an online gaming business. GGR, NGR, KPI, ARPU, CPA, CR and CLV. Of course the most important thing is understanding your goal. What do you want from your clients? What should they do? During my years in many online companies our goal was to buy DEPOSITS (i.e get 10% for xxx deposit, and so on). These days the goal is for players to play on their money as much as they can. In order to understand your goal in nowadays online casinos. You will need to understand a few key terms: Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) is the amount wagered minus the winnings returned to players, a true measure of the economic value of gambling. GGR is the figure used to determine what a casino or other gaming operation earns before expenses like salaries and taxes are paid. GGR is the equivalent of “sales” not “profit” . Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) is defined as gross bets le...

Building your emails, how to do it right!

When writing an email to promote a discount, update terms and conditions, or announce an important message you should follow some key points. I have two: 1. Tech side (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) 2. The HTML/Text part or content part . The tech side: In the world today when the war on spam is becoming more and more sophisticated  its important to understand some configuration you need to do in order to authenticate your sender and make sure your clients receive your emails.  1.
