Best email signature for owner and founder of a company

If you’re an owner or founder of a company, you know that branding your company – and yourself – is crucial. This page will give you the basics for making the best signature for your needs. This page will also give you the opportunity to take a look at some real owner signature examples others as you have made.

1) Full name: Use your middle initial as recent studies show that a middle initial is associated with higher intelligence

2) Job Title: In your title, be specific regarding your position with the company (ie. CEO, Owner, Founder…)

3) Company name: Write your business name,.

4) Website URL

5) Email address: Displaying your email address is optional as your email is readily available to the recipient and if he wants to reply, he will just hit ‘reply’ and therefore doesn’t need it as a point of reference for communication.

6) Photo / Logo: Although optional, it is highly recommended to display a photo giving your email signature more personal touch. People like to be reminded that there’s a real live person on the other side of the email. If applicable,  add your company logo to convey that you are part of a bigger whole.

If the goal of the email is to brand your business, a logo may be more appropriate. You can use Wisestamp’s signature manager to control the email signatures across your entire organization.

7) Brand colors: Mix and match colors to brand your signature and your company

8) Social media links: Provide easy access to your social profiles (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter) enabling the recipient to stay connected with you on a professional and social level
