How to create an awesome signature in Gmail business email?
You do not want to send a boring email to your hair loving clients, do you? After all the effort to create a catchy hair brand, you want to be sure your business email looks great too. Your clients want to feel and look good to boost their confidence. Give them more confidence in your brand by using a professional signature under your emails. Gmail will give you your business email for free, so not a bad investment to spend 5 minutes to create an awesome signature.
Please find a short introduction to business email. A business email differs from your personal email, because it is part of the marketing and sales process. If you have not a good process for your business Email this will lead to inefficiencies within the workplace as you or your staff will spend more time dealing with email rather than with helping your clients. Use a Customer Relationship Management system to keep track of the emails and be sure you respond to all emails within 24 hours to avoid a backlog that will cost you clients.
Your signature helps the clients to react to the right person within your organization and to get an idea about the level of professionality of your company.
Step 1 open your Gmail account
You will see your inbox, with all the mails and in the right upper corner you will see 4 icons.
From left to right these icons stand for: Support, settings, Google Apps and your account
Step 2 Select the wheel Icon for settings
The second icon, Settings, is the button you need to select.
Click on this Settings button and you will get the option to select: See all settings.
Now you will see a long list with options like:
Language:
Phone numbers:
Default text style:
Auto correct:
And many more
Scroll downwards until you see:
Signature:
Step 3 Write your business email signature
Click on + Create new and a box will open that will allow you to enter the text for the signature under your business email.
You can write in this box your:
– greeting,
– the company name and
– contact details.
To make it even more stylish you can also add images, like your logo or the famous icons of social media. Now you can also change the font or hue of the text. Use a set of colors color that matches with your logo.
Allow your audience to visit your webstore and add a link to the line with the name of your company or the URL like www.mycompany.com.
Step 4 Select when to show the signature
You can select in a box below the box where you created your signature when you prefer the signature to show. You can opt for showing your signature under: Only new mails or also when you Reply.
I recommend using the signature only the first time, otherwise the mails thread will be unnecessarily long, and your audience might miss important information. You already made the right impression with your first business email. Use the rest of the mail exchange to help the client in finding the best solution for her or his inquiry.
