Overview
The from name is the first signal a subscriber processes in the inbox — before the subject line, before the preview text. It answers one question: do I trust this sender enough to open? Most brands use their company name by default, without testing whether that choice is optimal for their specific relationship with their list.
The From Name & Sender Trust A/B Test designs tests that measure the trust signals driving open behavior — distinguishing between recognition (does the subscriber know who this is?), relationship (does this feel personal or corporate?), and authority (does this sender have relevant credibility for this content?).
