Easy Email Signatures: From Fizzle to Fancy Pants

What does your email say about you?

Email signatures are often overlooked but WiseStamp.com makes it super easy to make your emails look polished and professional. WiseStamp works with several email providers and puts a handy little button right on your email toolbar, so you can make several different signatures and use them in different situations.

It's quick and it's free :)

I'll show you how I updated my email signature and some of the features I use.

This was my old email sig:

But I decided I wanted to update it to match the rest of my branding. 

First I added a new signature graphic. Choose the image icon on the toolbar.

Now you can upload your image from your computer or from your website if you know the image url. My image is 250 pixels wide. 

Now that my image is added, I wanted to update the text I have entered below the image. Type in your text and highlight it. 

First I made the text link to the url of my newsletter sign up. Click the link icon:

And enter in the url you want your text to point to.  I always opt to have the link open in a new window.

Then I change the color of the text to match my branding. Choose the A icon on the toolbar.

You'll see a drop down of set colors to pick from or the option to choose from more colors. I added the HEX # of a color that matches my logo and entered it at the bottom and hit Apply.

If you look below the area where you customize your signature, you'll see three tabs. Email Apps, Social Icons, & IM Icons. 

Email Apps is where you can add your latest tweets, Facebook posts, shop listings, and more. The only one I use is the LinkedIn App to add the connect button.

IM Icons is where you can add your Skype, Google Talk, Messenger and other IM urls. I don't use any of these in my signature.

Social Icons is where you add in the urls of your social media profiles. This is the jackpot... I use as many of these as I can.

Once you enter in the urls for all of your icons, hit Preview in the lower left corner and see how it looks.

If it all looks good, close that window and hit Apply!

Now run email someone and test your new signature :)
