If you joined us for our Harness the Power of Online Reviews HelpForce webinar, you’ll know that email signatures can be (and should be) a valuable part of your digital marketing plan. Sounds good, right? Read on to find out how.
Now think about turning each one of those emails into an opportunity to grow and improve your online presence. You might need to drag and drop the image instead of copying/pasting.Think of all the emails you and your staff send to customers every day. Note: If you are on a Mac some people have reported the above not working. Also, if you construct your signature first in Microsoft Word, it should still work to paste into the email signature block as long as you pasted the image into word from the web server URL. Then simply hit “Save” and you are all done and you shouldn’t have any problems with your image/picture becoming a broken/dead link. You can then construct the rest of your signature. Now simply go back to the email signature block and hit paste (CTRL+V). Then right click on the image and select “Copy.” When this goes into your clipboard it is also going to capture the web server path. If it is on your web server I advise just right clicking on it if you are in Firefox and selecting “view image.” URL example. If you use TinyPic, they will give you the URL. Once you know where the image is, you will need to browse to the hosted location URL. If you don’t have access to a web server you can always upload it to a free image hosting site such as TinyPic. I always just upload the image I want to my web server. You need to have your image hosted online somewhere. This is because the temporary link breaks.
A lot of people just copy and paste their image into the signature block and while it might appear like it works… most likely when you send it out the receiver is going to get a big blank square with a red “X” in it. You need to have that image hosted online somewhere. Ok, and so here is the part where 85% of people mess up.
