A direct marketing model referred to as: recency, frequency, and monetary (RFM) analysis was used to identify customers that score 3 or more points for the RFM score. The analysis shows that 100 customers were qualified and these identified customers would be used by the restaurant management to plan its future advertising and promotion strategies. Entrepreneurs in service businesses are advised to make use of the various direct marketing models to help them as a means to an end in planning their future advertising and promotion strategies for overall profitability of their businesses.
