As the modeling-versus-RFM debate goes on, proponents of each donor-management approach continue to champion their preferred method. Weighing in recently on the Recency-Frequency-Monetary Analysis side was Arthur Middleton Hughes, vice president of KnowledgeBase Marketing. In his session at the 2005 Annual Washington Nonprofit Conference earlier this month, Hughes was exuberant in his support, calling RFM “the most powerful segmentation method for predicting response,” adding that it’s “better than any segmentation model.” But despite his accolades -- some of which might be considered fightin’ words in modeling country -- Hughes also warned that RFM isn’t something organizations should use all the time.
