It’s Your Signature – Spice It Up

Your email signature is another chance to stand out. Forget the lame traditional closings like “Sincerely, “Best”, and “Take Care.” And for the love of all that is holy, get rid of “Sent from my totally awesome Samsung Galaxy”. Your email signature is another opportunity to get noticed but you can do better than promoting your phone manufacturer or cellular carrier in your emails.

Signature Images Are A Waste

The majority of people read emails on their smartphones. Smartphones have options to block images to reduce data consumption. If you’re using an image to include your closing, name, logo and contact details – then your readers may not even see it. Can you say wasted opportunity?

Remember, images consume bandwidth. This can be extremely frustrating because it can feel like an eternity to download an image when you’re in an area with a bad connection. So, remember to add personality to your signature and do it using text. We’ve already told you that over half of emails are read on a smartphone. This means your email signature must be designed for the small screen.

Use a San Serif font with a size of 11 – 14 and Arial 14 make look boring on your 27″ computer screen but it’s extremely easy to read on a smartphone and your readers will appreciate it.
