Owned by audience-persona; consumed by campaign-strategist, lifecycle-crm, contextual-copywriter, and media-buyer-bidder. Four lenses: RFM (transactional), Behavioral cohorts (event-based), JTBD (motivational), ICP (B2B firmographic). Use multiple lenses in combination — no single lens is sufficient.
For each customer, compute:
Bin each into 1-5 quintiles (5 = best). Concatenate to RFM score (e.g. "545").
| Segment | RFM pattern | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Champions | 4-5, 4-5, 4-5 | Loyalty, referrals, early access |
| Loyal | 3-5, 4-5, 3-5 | Upsell, advocacy ask |
| Potential loyalist | 4-5, 1-2, 1-3 | Onboarding deepening, second purchase |
| New customers | 4-5, 1, 1 | Welcome series, expectation setting |
| Promising | 3-4, 1, 1-2 | Activation triggers |
| Needs attention | 2-3, 2-3, 2-3 | Targeted re-engagement |
| About to sleep | 2-3, 1-2, 1-2 | Re-engagement campaign |
| At risk | 1-2, 2-5, 2-5 | Winback before churn |
| Can't lose them | 1, 4-5, 4-5 | High-touch, possible HITL |
| Hibernating | 1-2, 1-2, 1-2 | Low-cost reactivation |
| Lost | 1, 1, 1 | Suppress or sunset |
| Industry | R quintile window | F window |
|---|---|---|
| DTC fast-moving (beauty, food) | 30/60/90/180/365 days | 365 days |
| DTC durable (apparel, home) | 60/120/180/365/730 days | 730 days |
| B2B SaaS (subscription) | Use active/churn lifecycle instead | |
| Pro Services | 180/365/730/1095 days | 1095 days |
Define cohorts by event sequence, not demographics. Standard funnel:
signed_up -> activated -> engaged -> power_user -> at_risk -> churned
| State | Trigger | Typical threshold |
|---|---|---|
| signed_up | account created | t = 0 |
| activated | first meaningful action | within D1-D3, varies by product |
| engaged | recurring meaningful action | >=3 sessions in 7 days |
| power_user | top-decile usage | top 10% by frequency or depth |
| at_risk | usage decay | 50% drop in 14-day rolling avg |
| dormant | no activity | no event in 30 days |
| churned | cancellation or 90-day dormant | explicit cancel or no event 90d |
| Day | D0 | D1 | D7 | D14 | D30 | D60 | D90 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| % active | 100% | x | x | x | x | x | x |
Compare cohorts week-over-week to detect activation regressions.
Frame the customer's underlying motivation, not features.
When [situation],
I want to [motivation / desired progress],
So I can [desired outcome / emotional or social payoff].
Example (B2B observability SaaS):
When a production incident wakes my on-call at 3am, I want to find the root cause in under 10 minutes, so I can restore service before customers notice and protect my team's morale.
