It is the simplest way we have found to keep inboxes and domains sending for longer, and it takes two tags and a limit change in your sequencer. ## The method - Take your total inboxes and divide them in half. - Tag one half Batch 1 and the other Batch 2 in your sequencer. - Add both batches to the campaign. - Run the active batch at full daily limits and lower the resting batch to follow-ups only, by selecting its tag in the inboxes section and changing the limits. - At each swap, raise one tag and lower the other. Nothing is removed from the campaign, so the resting batch's follow-ups keep going out. While a batch rests it keeps warming, and its follow-ups keep going out, so nothing it started goes quiet. The only thing it stops is new first-touch outreach. ## How often to swap The cycle follows your campaign, not the calendar. A batch should rest for at least one full pass of your sequence, so its follow-ups finish while the other batch carries the new outreach. | Your sequence runs | Swap the batches | | --- | --- | | Up to 7 days (a sequence of about 5 days) | Weekly | | Up to 14 days (a sequence of about 12 days) | Every 2 weeks | | Over 14 days (a sequence of 15 days or more) | Monthly | ## Both batches stay on the campaign Nothing is added or removed when you swap. Both batches sit on the campaign the whole time; you select the Batch 1 or Batch 2 tag in your sequencer’s inboxes section and raise or lower its limits. The active batch runs at full daily limits, the resting batch at follow-ups only. That is also why it books more meetings. People reply late, sometimes weeks later. On a rotated fleet the inbox they reply to is still there and still answers, instead of a mailbox or domain that was burned and deleted in the meantime. ## Rotate your lead lists the same way Rotate lead lists the same way: a list Batch 1 worked this month is worked by Batch 2 next month, from different senders, which reaches more of the list without the repeat contact that gets reported as spam. ## Where it matters most: ecommerce, SaaS and healthcare Saturated niches such as ecommerce, SaaS and healthcare sit behind strict filters, and their recipients report spam more than most. That is where warm rotation is the go-to strategy: no sender carries new outreach two cycles running, and no list is hit by the same senders twice in a row, which is what keeps the reputation intact. ## What it does In our fleets, warm rotation has made inboxes and domains last up to twice as long as sending from the same ones every day. It carries more inboxes for the same volume, and over months that is cheaper than replacing burned domains and losing the replies that were still coming to them. We ran the same domains and inboxes for twelve months on this method; that study is being written up for publication. It is a way to keep reputation, not a placement guarantee: copy, the list and the sending pace still decide where mail lands. ## Plan yours The [Inbox Rotation Planner](https://warminboxes.com/inbox-rotation-planner) splits your fleet into Batch 1 and Batch 2, picks the swap cycle from your sequence length and shows the calendar.
