Creating an email is simple, but important. After all, it is by its name and signature that people will make the very first impression of you. Do you want it to be positive? Follow simple tips.
Why do I need a signature
At first glance, it may seem that a letter signature is a waste of time and traffic. From whom the mail came your addressee will see without even looking into the letter - mail programs today are designed so that they automatically display the subject and the sender. It seems that it couldn't be easier. But there is no need to save on impressions of yourself. The signature in an email is not meant to remind who the author is; it completes the message and puts an elegant full stop. In real life, people shake hands with each other; when e-mailing, the signature will become a kind of visiting card.
I'm writing to you…
What should be written in the signature? Of course, the signature may be different for different cases. If you use mail to communicate with friends or any kind of frivolous correspondence, you can put your favorite quote, aphorism or a wish of a good day and good mood in your signature. If the correspondence is meant to be strictly business, it is better to limit yourself to a laconic business card with the name, position, company name and phone number. For example:
Ivanova Marina
Sales manager of Romashka LLC
8-999-999-999
Optionally, you can add other contact information or the address of the working site. By the way, email programs today allow you to create several different signatures and choose them depending on your preferences.
Common mistakes in signatures
Remember the basic rule - don't overload your business card with unnecessary information. There is absolutely no need to indicate at the end of each letter five city and three mobile phones, fax, mail, Skype, ICQ and addresses in social networks. Remember that the addressee already has the same e-mail to contact you, so a phone, as an alternative, will be quite enough.
Feel free to experiment with color and highlight in your email signature. But here, too, one should observe the measure and highlight only the most important thing. What information do you think should be remembered by your interlocutor in the first place? Quite right - your name. So make it more visible.
