Stay current with email: Change Outlook signatures often
8 August 2023
Keeping your email signatures up to date is like tending to a well-maintained garden. Without the right tools it can be time-consuming, but it's also incredibly important. After all, a great email signature gives your business and brand credibility, and marketing opportunities, while staying legally compliant.
Over a million companies worldwide use Office 365, with Outlook used to send professional, up-to-date emails. But what’s the best way to change Outlook signatures quickly and efficiently? And how can you make the most of this important email real estate to display brand credibility?
In this guide, we show you how to use Exclaimer to change email signatures in Outlook 365 in just a few easy steps.
Why keep your emails current?
Since 1971, emails have consistently been our go-to for every aspect of business communication. From targeted email marketing to communicating with clients, they’re a fundamental digital marketing medium embraced by businesses worldwide.
After all, the potential of business email is huge. You have the opportunity to get your company comms and marketing messages in front of recipients in the form of a signature banner. What’s more, recipients already trust you and are waiting for your email. In terms of return on investment (ROI), as a low-cost marketing channel, few, if any, other channels can rival the performance of email signature marketing.
But if your email signature is outdated and not used to its full potential, you’re missing out on big opportunities. Having an up-to-date email signature is just as important as managing your emails. Here's why:
Professionalism
Your email signature is a representation of you and your organization. By keeping it up-to-date, you convey a professional image and show your contacts that you take your communications seriously.
Brand identity
Your email signature is an excellent opportunity to reinforce your brand identity with your clients, prospects, and partners. By ensuring that your signature includes your company logo, colors, and other branding elements, you make sure that your clients will remember you and your business.
Contact information
Ensuring your signature contains up-to-date contact information helps your clients connect with you easily. Having accurate phone numbers, email addresses, and social media links gives your contacts confidence that they can reach out to you when they need to.
Compliance
If you're communicating with clients in regulated industries (such as finance or healthcare), having an accurate and up-to-date email disclaimer is necessary for you to comply with your industry's specific regulations.
Consistency
Using a consistent email signature format throughout your organization helps build brand recognition. This way, everyone on your team is presenting the same professional image to your clients and prospects.
