Creating an email signature is something I get asked about a lot actually, a lot of people want to know how I created my email signature because it’s got my photo in it. So today I figured I’d share with you a quick tutorial on how to create a custom gmail signature. Having a customized email signature is a great way to show more of your personality, give those you’re emailing a peek at your beautiful face, and share a little bit more about you/your business.
One thing that I do need to say is to not make your email signature crazy. What do I mean by that? Don’t go and add every single place you’ve ever been featured or tons of links. It makes it a bit overwhelming, and depending on the email provider it’ll show your photos as attachments (which can get wicked annoying if you’re actually sending them an attachment). If you’re dead set on adding where you’ve been featured as a way to boost credibility, add 3 max (and make sure they’re small) or even better, add a link to a page on your website that showcases them in full.
I personally like simpler signatures and do click on the links they provide. It’s a great chance to share your website, social media platforms, or add a few of the most common requested links (i.e. access to their client portal or schedule a call with you). I’ve had several clients use the link in my email signature to a schedule call with me rather than emailing me asking to schedule a call because they saw it was there!
