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!
