Rotating "From Email" and "From Name" in ARs ?

by Unisons
7 replies
Is there a way to schedule broadcasts ahead of time, example 1 a day, and have the "From Email" or "From Name" rotate on every single day I send?

Example

Scheduled Broadcast 1: From John (john@abc.com)
Scheduled Broadcast 2: From Max (max@google.com)
Scheduled Broadcast 3: From Jason (jason@website.com)

etc etc.

(Aweber user here)

    Hey,

    as far as I know you can not rotate in Aweber your sender name and e-mail... (maybe I am wrong...)

    In Getresponse if you validate your sender e-mails you can do the following:
    Scheduled Broadcast 1: From John (john@abc.com)
    Scheduled Broadcast 2: From Max (max@google.com)
    Scheduled Broadcast 3: From Jason (jason@website.com)

    There are maybe other ARs as well, in Getresponse it can work.

    In Aweber, create different lists, each set to a different from/email. These lists can have no subscribers in them. However, if you go to that list and then create a broadcast, you can still select your other lists to send to, but the from name/email will be the one you assigned to that list.

    Don't make a habit of changing these too often, or you will get blocked by Gmail if you're too aggressive with new froms. I think having a collection of froms you use consistently should be ok though.

      Hmmm interesting. What do mean under changing the names and e-mails too often? Once a month or once a week?
      thanks!

      This is actually incorrect UNLESS you use multiple froms with the same return path address. In either Aweber or Getresponse each list you create gets assigned a new and different return path address. This is actually the true from and what ISPs look at first. Then, they look at your from you enter next. So... if you create a new list and assign that list a dedicated from email, ISPs will see this as a new and unique sender and collect separate reputation data for it. You will only get blocked if with a list you change your from email. In this case, they will see that return path address sending mail from different froms and start blocking you for it.

      So in summary, create a new list, use a dedicated from email for that list, and it will be viewed as a unique sender with its own reputation.

        I think we are making different points. I'm saying if you have the same list, and you switch froms a lot, like changing it every few days, you're going to hit some blockage. A new from in certain instances may help(like on Yahoo), but Gmail looks at more than any other isp. If they think you are using a from switching scheme to achieve inbox, they could take action on your ip. Plus, Gmail isn't stupid. They probably don't care that you have a unique return path, they can still link your sends together by the same from you input.

        Point is...rotating daily without properly warming up the from could cause you issues. Daily is too frequent.

    Thanks for the detailed explanation joegaris!

    so basicly if you change your sender e-mail and name every week for the same list that can cause issues
