• -- (tac-tac-space) is the accepted way to start an eMail signature, as many applications will recognize that this is the start of the signature and is no longer the message.
• since the eMail address is sent with the message, there isn't any pressing need to include it in the eMail signature, unless you feel that people are going to be printing your eMail out or forwarding them on... then it might make sense.
• Phone number is a line away from the website, so both can be accessed easily from a mobile device.
• try to keep personal info with the person and company info with the company. If you have a direct phone line, put it under your name, if you are referencing a main company phone number, put it with the company.
• If there is a lot of information for either the person or the company, these sections could be separated by a blank line.
• The Elevator Pitch is prominently displayed at the end of the signature.
• Use plain text only. Graphics may not display. It is difficult to copy contact information from a graphic and will have to be re-keyed, which could introduce errors.
• Keep it short. Try to keep the entire eMail signature under 10 lines
• phone numbers in the 000-000-0000 format is usually converted into a link on phones.
• Put https:// in front of your URLs and eMail applications will turn those into links.
