When ever you sent out emails, do you make sure you have all your contact details listed at the bottom of the email besides your reply email ? Most people failed to do so. It is highly important for you to have a proper email signature.

What are the details you need to have on a signature? It has to be short and sweet. Anything more than 5 lines is not advisable. Some of the most important informations that you should give out when you are sending an email would be :

  • Your full name - Make sure you have your full contact name. One of the most common mistakes done by people are by providing nicknames instead of real names. You may quote your nick at the end of your emails but do attach your email signature as a standard procedure. 
  • Your Web Address - This is not only essential but also part of marketing for your web/blog through emails. This would allow the person you are sending emails to know more about you.
  • Your Contact Number - This might be useful for people to directly call you or send a text. Keep in mind, do only publish your business mobile/phone numbers. This is to avoid you from being disturbed after working hours. 
  • Your Mail-in Address - Do provide a business mail-in address. Keep it short. Don’t provide this if you are working from home.

Many people failed to even provide a valid reply address when they send in emails using a contact form. If you do not provide a valid address, it possible of you to miss a valuable reply.
