Casual Articles - What Is An Email Signature And What Do I Do With It?
Here’s my favorite thing about marketing on the internet… the ability to generate INSTANT feedback on the effectiveness of my advertising.If I wanted to do advertising using traditional methods, I’d need to spend thousands of dollars printing & mailing advertising that may or may not be effective. I won’t know until weeks later, after the sales start to roll in. (Or worse, after they DON’T roll in!) Not so with the internet. You can know in a matter of hours, not weeks, whether your internet advertising campaign is effective. Then you can use these results to make it even better.If you buy online advertising to drive traffic to your site, you can measure EVERYTHING, and quickly learn what works and what doesn’t.
Usually, an email signature is best limited to 6 lines or less. It needs to create curiosity, clearly state what you are offering and invite readers to CLICK on it to learn more - all in a nano-second - because that is about how much time you have to get the attention of
I have two buddies that hunt, Jeremy and Jeff. They get up at the crack of dawn and trek out into the Arizona desert to shoot some animals. I am not a hunter and have a better chance of bring struck by lightning twice than shooting a deer, so I am not invited. Maybe it's best that way, I kind of side with the deer anyway - hunting just isn't my thing. Well this article isn't about hunting, but I've seen the gear they have and preparation these guys go through in order to go after their target. To my surprise I started to see some very strong similarities between how they hunt animals and how I "hunt" prospects for clients when designing their projects. Stay with me, I promise you'll see… Personally, I'm not a hunter, but they've got
What Is A Signature?
A signature is a short block of text at the end of a message with information identifying you and providing additional information about what you are offering.
You can think of your signature as passive advertising. It follows you wherever you go on the Internet and quietly and very effectively tells those you meet who you are and what you do - if you are taking advantage of the benefits of a personalized signature.
You can use your signature in the closing of ALL emails you send. It is like an extension of your identity. Display it proudly (unless of course you are posting to an email group that does not allow signatures)!
You can use your signature when posting to message boards and forums, too. Of course, you will want to read the rules of the forum to be sure that signatures are allowed. Many message boards provide for a signature in your Profile that you create when you join the forum - and the signature is usually automatically added when you post a message.

Today many of us frequently feel stuck in overdrive - days crammed with too much to do mixed with an unhealthy dose of frequent distractions, all vying for our attention at the same time. This can cause our minds to be constantly racing which, in turn, can make focusing our attention seem like an impossible task. Is it any wonder we find it difficult to pay attention for more than ten seconds at a time without a sense of dread that we might miss something?When our attention is spread too thin, we run the risk of putting our relationships in peril. Once others believe you have willingly disregarded their presence, whether intentional or not, your inattentiveness can foster ill-feelings including anger, annoyance or resentment. Whether you find it di

Keep the lines of your signature short and concise and easy to read quickly. Include only enough information to create curiosity to encourage the reader to CLICK on the link to your website (or to call a phone number if you do not have a website).
