Well, it seems that at certain periods in time, the same sing-off can become quite tiring for many individuals. There is also the fact that an email sign-off can say a lot about how a person feels at the time. For example, an individual may sign off with, “I look forward to hearing from you” in the beginning of their interactions to “Best.” “Best,” to some, is usually an indicator that something is up.

Actually, many believe that the individual sending the email is just not as thrilled to hear from them as what they were in the beginning. This is why it is important that you use the same sign-off all of the time, or an occasion-appropriate sign-off, so that the person on the other end doesn’t feel snubbed by the change in mood that seems to have occurred, even if there has been no change.

But what is appropriate?

Well, first off, there are many fans of the sign-off “Best” in email signatures. However, there are many now who view this as a type of brush-off. Not everyone does, but there are many who do, so it may be safe to say that this is one that you need to stay away from.

Then there are those that we were taught when we were in grade school. These include, “Yours Truly” and “Sincerely.” Well, “Sincerely” has lost some steam throughout the years. You very rarely see it in email footers anymore. Now “Yours Truly” you will see more often than naught.

“Regards” is another popular one. This one is fine for business situations. However, there are other business situations where you may not use this. Email etiquette doesn’t really have to be this complicated. Some of it is common sense. For example, you’re not going to sign off with the word “Warmly” when you are complaining about something.

So what do you do when you are using an email where your email signature says, “Yours Truly” or “Warm Regards?”

Well, you can create multiple signatures and simply choose which one you want to use to suit that particular email. By using a program such as WiseStamp, www.wisestamp.com, you can create multiple email signatures for various occasions. These are email signatures that look nice. They have everything organized and everything is appealing to the eyes. This means that your email signature won’t scare away your email recipients. They will be more receptive to it if it is nicely laid out and has a lot of valuable information in as few words as possible.

So if you’re not sure what to sign your email off as, you can use what you feel is appropriate for the situation. Just make sure that it is professional and that it is something that won’t make an individual feel as if you are snubbing them. This is very important to your business.

You can easily share your latest blog post in Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL mail and more…simply by installing WiseStamp (firefox/chrome) addon.

Finally an easy way to get more blog subscribers and readers!

Add the RSS App to your emails – Follow these simple steps:

1. Install WiseStamp email Apps version (Firefox / Chrome).
2. Open the WiseStamp editor (click the WiseStamp icon and then “Open WiseStamp”)
3. In the Apps tab, click the RSS App and click the “Add” icon. Title your RSS feed and add the URL to the feed.
4. How do you find the URL? Simply go to your blog/news site and look for the orange icon . Now, copy the address (URL) into the RSS URL field in the WiseStamp editor.

That’s it!

This is a very powerful way to get new readers and to spread the news that interest you. Check it out!

So it is important that you know what features a professional email signature should possess. Those features are:

• You should have no more than 7 lines. The best email signatures are short and to the point.
• If needed add your Logo or  images to make your signature noticeable and branded.
• Make sure the contact info you include is information that is needed by the email recipient. Don’t include contact information that is personal or you will never leave work. It will always find you.
• Throw something promotional in there. This means give something away for free to your recipients.
• You can use a border to separate your signature from your actual email. That way the recipient knows the difference.

These are some of the most important parts of an email signature for you to take into consideration. However, you may be thinking, “How am I supposed to make this look and feel the way it is supposed to so people will really like me?” Well, there is a solution to this. You could always use an email signature template to get it done. You could also use WiseStamp www.wisestamp.com that allows you to customize your email signature in email programs as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, and AOL Mail. Any social media and services can be linked and instant messenger icons can be included. It is done in a way that doesn’t make the recipient think, “Eww, this is every kind of messy and then some.” This is because there are some email signatures that come through to their email inbox that are very messy and not very easy to understand. There is just way too much going on. WiseStamp does keep that from happening due to support of special characters and allowing you the ability to fully customize your email signature.

So keep in mind that you don’t have to include every piece of information in the world, but that you can have a nice, organized email signature that can really get the message across.

If you are, then there is a great idea for you that you really need to consider. For example, why not create a “green email?” If you’re wondering what this is, it is an email that contains a disclaimer in the email signature that talks about ways you can use your email to save the environment. In other words, this is a “green email signature.”

A green email signature can be quite creative. For example, you can create a signature disclaimer that asks if you really need to print that email. A lot of people will print their emails so that they can refer back to them. Instead, you can talk about the benefits to the environment by not printing the email because it uses paper and paper uses trees.

You can use such lines as:

• “If you print this message, you’re killing trees!”
• “Printing this message means one more tree must die.”
• “File this email in an email folder and save a tree.”
• “Think before you print and save a tree.”

You can get quite creative with it and have a rather cool signature hanging out at the bottom of your email. You would be quite amazed at how having a green email signature can make a difference in the environment. You can even add a neat button that says, “If this message kept you from printing this email, click here.”

But how do you get these neat green email signatures?

Well, you can create your own, but that could be a little complicated. Instead, you can use a Firefox extension such as WiseStamp, www.wisestamp.com, to use their tools to create yourself an effective and very green email signature. You can create multiple signatures for AOL Mail, Hotmail, yahoo, and Gmail. This can be a lot of fun because you know you are doing something great to help the environment.

It is very important for individuals to know that they don’t have to print out their emails. If you convince 20 people per day to not print their emails, that’s 400 people per week and at least 400 sheets of paper not used. The less paper that is used, the lower the demand for paper. When the paper demand goes down, the paper factories create less paper. This means less trees have to be harvested. It is one very interesting chain reaction that you can start just by having a green email signature in the emails that you send.

It is very easy to see the magnitude of making such a small move. Every little bit will help and every little bit can have an influence.

You’ve probably seen an email disclaimer hanging out at the bottom of an email in the email signature.

But what is it for? What sort of function does it serve?

Well, an email disclaimer usually has some sort of legal purpose to it. If it doesn’t have a legal purpose, then it has a marketing message behind it.

However, the most common email disclaimers that you have probably been those are those stating that an email may be confidential and no part of that email should be duplicated. You may also see something regarding the views expressed by others in the email not representative of the views of the company.

For marketing purposes, the email disclaimer may include something regarding the company’s particulars. This can reside by itself or be a part of a legal disclaimer within an email. It more or less depends on what the functions of your business are and whether or not you really need a disclaimer to protect anything. Some companies do not need them, but some sort of disclaimer can project some kind of professional image.

What are some reasons to include an email disclaimer?

• To prevent breach of confidentiality. Information may be intended for the recipient. If that information is leaked, they could get into trouble.
• Virus transmission is another issue. It is very easy to mistakenly send a virus in an email and this could actually get your company sued. If you have a disclaimer that says the email could possibly contain a virus and that the recipient is responsible for scanning for viruses.
• Companies are liable for the content of the emails sent by their employees. However, companies are unable to monitor every single email that comes through. Sending a disclaimer regarding this can keep the company from being held liable for the content of some emails.

These are just some of the reasons as to why email disclaimers may be necessary in email footers.

As for where you can get effective email signatures to display your email signatures containing your disclaimers, you can check out WiseStamp, www.wisestamp.com, and get them that way. What WiseStamp is, is a Firefox extension that adds customized email signatures to your Gmail, Hotmail, yahoo, or AOL Mail signature. You can create multiple signatures so that you can choose which is appropriate for the particular email you are sending. This makes creating an attractive email signature a lot easier because there are email signature templates and many other tools that can be used.

So if you need an attractive signature with an email disclaimer included, you now know that it isn’t that difficult. You might as well go ahead and cover yourself at every angle to make sure sending an email is something you don’t have to worry about.
