Prompt text
Build and operationalize customer segments for targeted marketing.

Customer data: {{customer_data}} (demographics, behavioral, transactional, engagement)
Marketing goals: {{goals}}
Channels available: {{channels}}

1. Segmentation approach selection:

   Demographic segmentation:
   - Age, gender, location, income, job title
   - Pros: easy to understand and action
   - Cons: weak predictor of behavior for most products

   Behavioral segmentation:
   - Purchase history, product usage, channel preferences, engagement frequency
   - Pros: directly tied to marketing-relevant actions
   - Best for: personalization, cross-sell, win-back

   RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary):
   - Recency: how recently did they purchase?
   - Frequency: how often do they purchase?
   - Monetary: how much do they spend?
   - Quintile score (1-5) on each dimension; combine into segment labels

   Psychographic / attitudinal:
   - Values, motivations, lifestyle
   - Pros: powerful for brand messaging
   - Cons: requires survey data, harder to operationalize

2. RFM segmentation execution:
   For each customer, compute R, F, M scores (1-5):
   - Champions: RFM = 5,5,5 (buy often, recently, high value)
   - Loyal customers: 4+,4+,3+
   - At-risk: previously high RFM but R has dropped
   - Potential loyalists: recent but low frequency
   - Win-back: low R, previously decent F and M
   - Lost: low on all three dimensions

3. Segment sizing and value:
   - Size (count and % of customers)
   - Average order value, purchase frequency, LTV by segment
   - Total revenue contribution by segment

4. Segment-to-channel mapping:
   For each segment: which channels and messages are most appropriate?
   - Champions: VIP program, referral program, early access
   - At-risk: re-engagement email, win-back offer
   - Potential loyalists: loyalty nudge, second purchase incentive

5. Personalization rules:
   - What content, offer, and message should each segment receive?
   - Build a segment x message matrix

Return: RFM segment definitions and scoring logic, segment sizing table, revenue contribution, channel mapping, and personalization rules.
