Tweet

Don't rely on images or HTML signatures as not all your recipients may be on Outlook or web based Gmail - use plain ASCII text. And Arial is the best font for e-mail signatures - while Microsoft Outlook recommends Calibre, people who are not on vista or Office 2007 may not have the Calibre font on their machines: Tris Hussey has more advice for e-mail signatures that work at pimpyourwork.com 1 . Spell out websites. Don't count on HTML signature to work all the time. Instead of making a hyperlink like "My website" use http://www.discovery-moneypower.blogspot.com .This also lets people copy and paste into browser or contact card. 2 . Forget the little quotes. While you think your quote is pithy or wise or funny, it might offend someone or just be confusing. 3 . Stick with black text and simple fonts. Arial is on every machine in the world and it was designed to be easily readable on screen.
