Quick Tip: You Need an Email Signature

Perry Kirkpatrick • January 17, 2023

Creating an effective email signature may be something you haven’t yet taken the time to do for your business. But why should should you bother? Your email signature can help build brand recognition, drive traffic to your website, act as a digital business card being handed out to everyone you interact with via email, and establish you as a leader in your industry.


The best part? It’s a quick improvement that should take you less than 15 minutes to set up.


What should go into an email signature?

To get the most out of your email signature, consider including the following elements:

  • Your name and job title: This will help people identify who you are and what your role is in the company.
  • Your company’s logo: Adding your logo will help build brand recognition and make your emails stand out.
  • A tagline: A tagline is a great way to showcase your business’s mission or values.
  • Contact information: Make sure to include your email address, website URL, and phone number so people can easily contact you. (Don’t have a website? We can help!
  • Social media links: Adding links to your company’s various social media accounts will help you connect with customers and followers.
  • A call to action: Include a call to action that fits with your marketing plan and goals, such as “Follow us on Twitter” or “Check out our blog” to encourage people to take action.

I’m convinced, and I know what I want my signature to include… now what?

In the world of business, understanding your target audience is crucial. It’s the key to moving away from “I sell to everyone!” and toward tailoring your products or services, developing effective marketing strategies, and ultimately, achieving success. But for many business owners, the process of creating a buyer persona can feel daunting. (Or maybe like something only those with marketing degrees should attempt!) We get it. That’s why we decided to make it as simple and fun as creating a DnD character or daydreaming one of those shower-steam-fueled fictional interactions. Introducing our free PDF workbook: “Identify Your Ideal Client.” This invaluable resource will guide you through the journey of identifying your ideal client by exploring who they are and what motivates them. With that information, you will then uncover what will motivate them to buy / schedule / hire / otherwise engage with your business. Why Creating a Buyer Persona Matters Before we dive into the workbook, let’s quickly explore why creating a buyer persona is essential: Targeted Marketing: Understanding your ideal client allows you to tailor your marketing efforts precisely to their needs, increasing your chances of capturing their attention. Don’t try to speak to everyone. Speak directly to those who already align with your offerings. Product Development: Knowing your ideal client’s pain points and preferences can help you develop products or services that cater directly to them. Efficient Resource Allocation: Save time and resources by focusing your efforts on the most promising leads and opportunities. Spend less time and money convincing someone they need your offering, and more time meeting the existing needs of your actual audience. You’re busy, we know! Creating a buyer persona doesn’t have to be intimidating. It’s about tapping into your creativity and exploring your ideal client’s world. With “Identify Your Ideal Client,” we’ve made the process engaging and straightforward, so you can unlock the potential for growth and success in your business. We think it should only take about 15 minutes to fill in your workbook. You have 15 minutes, right? Ready to get started?
