Collecting customer data and implementing the right platform are great starts toward turning insights into revenue. Still, the real value comes from creating campaigns that drive revenue, build loyalty, and reduce churn. That’s where Sweed’s RFM segmentation tools shine.
Sweed closes the loop on segmentation success by collecting customer data specific to retail, providing intelligent, actionable tools for dispensary teams, and empowering operators to put together campaigns tied directly to customer behavior. This is all done through Sweed’s 10 customer segment groups that clearly categorize customers based on how recently they purchased, how much they bought, and how frequently they purchase. No spreadsheets, no guesswork.
Now that you have the right tools and insights to take action, the next step is up to you, because nobody knows your customers and your products better than you do. But you don’t have to do it alone. Here are some suggestions for turning each RFM segment into measurable growth.
