Update your Email Signature

Do you have a personalized signature set up at the end of your email messages?

Do you want one?
Email signatures are pretty cool, and you can be very creative with them. They save time and make sure you are giving your people the information they need to stay in contact with you.

For my regular email account I have the simple standard professional email signature that is automatically entered at the bottom of every email I send.

It goes something like this.

But I have also seen some really creative ones.

  • May your day be blessed, NAME, PHONE
  • Yellow is a happy color, NAME, PHONE
  • I only check my email on Thursdays, NAME, PHONE
  • Sent from my iPhone
  • Get Outlook for iOS 10

and so on.

What does yours say? And does it reflect who you are the way you want it to?

If you don’t have one, or feel it’s time to update yours, it is pretty easy to do in the Outlook.com and Gmail systems.

Once your new signature is saved it will show up whenever you start a new email – Go test it ????.
You can also test it by sending me an email, I’d love to see what you create.

Send it to Nicole@luxcentric.com.
Put “new signature” in the Subject field.
For extra credit let me know why you chose the type of signature you chose.
Below are the quick instructions on how to set up your email signature for Outlook.com and Gmail.

Note: Unfortunately both Outlook.com and Gmail make it cumbersome and inconsistent to add pictures or logos to signatures. Sometimes it works to insert an image and sometimes it doesn’t.
