Be a trustworthy sender - Clearly state your brand name in sender name

Do you know how important it is to clearly state your brand in sender name?

Which email will you open?

Sender name is the first element that the recipients experience from your email. Using effective email from namehelps to reach audience and grow brand awareness effectively. It can build up trustful relationship with your valued customers. Most of the recipients will delete the email if they cannot recognize the sender (sender B). Even worse is that the recipients may report your email as SPAM if they regard the sender as not trustworthy. 

Clearly state your brand name as sender C can boost deliverability and open rate. Subscribers may open the email from a familiar brand when their inboxes are flooded with similar commercial email. You can also use a personal name, like sender A, which can be recognized as your brand. Using personal name can help establish a direct relationship with your subscribers.

Do's

• Use the most recognized brand name which can remind your subscribers of your brand
  • A recognizable brand name helps readers to identify the services or products they have consumed from your brand. This can reduce the SPAM rate as readers may not report a recognizable sender they know.
• Keep the sender name short or it may not be fully shown in mailbox
  • The length of sender names shown in various email clients, mobile devices and even rotation of devices is different.
