Email Signatures Your Clients Hate
Today, the Wall Street Journal weighs in on evil email signatures -- and why evil email sign-offs are poised to get worse.
For the record -- I like to see a simple, consistent approach to email signatures.
But I actually like some of the add-ons that the WSJ hates. Logos, graphics, banners, and other promotional sign-offs do not necessarily have to be overbearing or tacky bandwidth hogs. Used with discretion, some of the fancier email signature techniques can be quite useful...and have a positive promotional impact, as well.
Of course, you can always vote or comment your opinion on email sigs...and see what others think immediately.
So tell me...what do you think about promotional email sign-offs? Or in other words, what do you think about "Email Bling"??
