Email Signatures - Easy Free Advertising

By: Terri Seymour | Posted: 14th April 2006

A big part of your business comes from your email
so it makes sense to advertise your products and/or
services with every email that you send out. You can
do this is by having a "sigtag" in your email. Outlook
and Outlook Express both allow you to set up your
sigtag so it is automatically added to each and every
email going out, including replies and forwards.

In Outlook, go to Tools up on top, and then Options.
Then click on the Mail Format tab up on top of the box.
Then click on Signatures. Outlook even allows you to
have different sigtags for different email addresses.
This way, you could have a certain sigtag for your
email groups and another one for your personal email
and so on. For Outlook Express, go to Tools and then
Options. Then you click the Signatures tab on top of
the box.

A few things you want to remember when composing your
sigtag:

1. Do not make it into a novel. You want to just use a
few lines to get your message across.

2. Try to capture email addresses for follow-up sales
and contacts. Your ezine makes for a good subject for
your sigtag.

3. Offer something free that people can click and get.
Make it as few clicks as possible. For example: a free
download or ebook.

Here are some examples of sigtags:

Don't pass up the chance to advertise and/or promote
your products and/or services with every email you
send! Change your sigtag periodically to feature your
current specials or sales or holiday events. I have
gotten many sales/subscribers/leads from my email
sigtag over the years!
