Put some love into your signature
Your signature at the bottom of your emails has the potential to work for
you. At the very least it should include your :
- name
- position
- contact details
- URL of your website
Make your signature stand out from the crowd, ideally it should be short
and catchy – no one wants to read screeds – you can include a quote if that
suits your style and your by-line if you have one. If you have a special
promotion – include it your signature for the duration.
Take care if you add an image, such as a photo or your logo, to your
signature. For those people that can receive HTML emails it will look great,
for all the rest it will show as a little box with an x in it. Create your
signature so that it looks great when receiving HTML and degrades nicely to
look ok with plain text email.
Your email signature has the potential to work for you, it can convey a
lot about you and your business and takes only a few minutes to set up. It's
also a good idea to have a separate signature for personal emails or leave
the signature off altogether.
