Your guide to email signature best practices for 2022
✅ Size: Keep an eye on the dimensions and weight of your email signature. Less than 100kb and between 150px-200px height, 300px-600px width
✅ Fonts and colors: Be consistent with your brand guidelines and keep things simple
✅ Photos: Use clean, high-quality headshots and don’t forget to smile! Stick to 50px-100px in size
✅ Company logo: Use a high-quality logo with a width of 150px-300px. Place it alongside your other company information
✅ Social media links: Use icons instead of text links and stick to relevant platforms that you are active on. These work well at the bottom of your footer
✅ CTA: Use CTAs in line with your brand to reach goals or drive subscribers to other channels
✅ Website link: Make it easy to identify
✅ Dividers: Separate information into groups to make it more digestible
✅ Whitespace: Use enough whitespace to make your email signature clean, professional and easy to read
✅ Design hierarchy: Make sure primary information is prominent, and present elements so as to guide readers through with purpose
✅ Mobile-friendly: Think about size, positioning and whitespace of clickable elements
✅ Track success: Make links trackable to analyze and make informed decisions about your campaigns
✅ Use different signatures where appropriate: What works for one kind of client, might not work for another.
