What the paper says

Accurate prediction of customer repurchase behavior is vital for businesses aiming to boost customer retention. This study introduces an advanced approach that merges classification algorithms with RFM analysis, a widely adopted framework in customer relationship management. The proposed models utilize RFM scores as input features to categorize customers into likely or unlikely repurchasers. The developed models demonstrate strong accuracy (74%) and performance on an online UK retail store dataset, showcasing their efficacy in identifying customers likely to make future purchases. Furthermore, a feature importance analysis identifies key RFM dimensions influencing repurchase behavior, empowering businesses to tailor targeted marketing strategies.
