A conceptualized email consists of a CTA that converts. If your emails are already delivering your expected results then you have an effective strategy. Every email that rolls out from your email account, contains one quintessential element that you avoid.

I’m talking about your email signature. Others fall prey in realizing the true potential of an email’s signature, you can avoid the pitfall of a poor marketing strategy. A personal email signature can provide a serious marketing opportunity that you’re missing. By including essential information about your current campaigns in your email signature, you can take your marketing campaigns to the next level.

To nurture prospective leads and spread brand awareness on a larger scale, here are 6 bright ideas with examples to promote your offerings through a simple email signature.

Homepage

Many marketers tend to add their website’s URL in their email signatures. However, in actuality, it should be least promoted. The extra information in the email directs the visitor’s attention towards the action you want them to take.

Yet, if you’re pushing your website address in your email, make sure that your homepage acts as a landing page. Offer a free demo, a trial service, etc. on the homepage so your visitor can take the action you want them to take. Here is an excellent example of our dear friend Hermione Granger.
