- Test on Multiple Devices: Send test emails to different email clients (Outlook, Apple Mail, mobile apps) to ensure your signature displays correctly everywhere.
- Use Professional Colors: Stick to your brand colors or neutral tones like navy, gray, or black for a professional appearance that works in any business context.
- Include Essential Information Only: Name, title, company, phone, email, and website are core elements. Add social media links only if they're professionally relevant.
- Optimize for Mobile: Remember that over 50% of emails are opened on mobile devices, so ensure your signature is readable and clickable on small screens.
