Hi Nancy! This is a great article – Thanks very much! I just wanted to request a clarification, when you mentioned: “a significant difference…” In our case at Maquipucuna – Ecuador, we have several awards, for Ecotourism, for Coffee, etc., so I have shortened my sig line to 6 lines, besides the Must include, as follows:
World-class & Award winning Ecolodge & Rainforest Reserve: http://www.maqui.org
Café Chocó Andes – Slow-Production-Coffee Model: http://www.slowcoffee.com
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fundaci%C3%B3n-Maquipucuna/67552224723
Would these be considered a significant difference? Appreciate it! Rodrigo

I agree fully, by lines are very important and even more important is how they are set up. I have 2 business web sites and I am studying how to best create them without just slapping in any old idea. There is a craft to this so it has to be done right to be effective.

Good read. I never put much thought into the sig but now see the real value of it. Cheers.

I love the attention to detail. I think a lot of small organisations think these sorts of things don’t matter, but it helps create a good image of professionalism … I like it!

Thanks for the suggestion, John. I’d recommend including credentials only if they make a significant difference in how the message will be received. Otherwise, save that precious real estate for other content!

Hi Nancy, thanks for this. I just wanted to add that one can also consider including credentials (relevant degrees and certificates, for example) as part of the signature.

Great article! Interesting take on removing the physical and email addresses. Glad to know it’s kosher to include a plug for a specific campaign. Thanks!

This is a great article on email signatures. I know people that get a lot of extra business from the use of a catchy email signature. Thanks
