Summer Segmentation: E-Mail Response

  2. Recency of purchase after clicking through an e-mail campaign.

You'll find that those on your e-mail list that do record activity in either variable in the past twelve months have a different future trajectory than do other customers.

Show of hands ... how many of you have either variable actively coded on your database?
