The average office business worker sends 40 emails per day. That’s at least 40 chances every day to market yourself and your company, not to mention dozens of opportunities to reach out and expand your professional network when recipients read the email signature.
Unfortunately, many people don’t think very much about email signatures. This makes these signatures a real missed (while totally free!) marketing opportunity, “…to make it clear who you are, make it easy for people to reach you, and give people a place to go to find out more—either about you, about your business, or about something you’re working on,” says Hubspot.
That means if you’re just putting your name and a point or two of contact information in your signature (or not inserting a signature at all), you’re not taking full advantage of the opportunity to connect and engage with the people you’re emailing.
It’s really easy to set up your own email signature that includes important information about you and your business and is on-brand. So, there’s no reason to miss out!
