Folks… If the signature of your email is longer than the actual message you’re conveying, it’s TOO LONG!!!!! A signature is just that … A SIGNATURE. Not the prospectus of your company.
Name, contact information. That’s IT. And if you can compact your contact info to a few lines, instead of 6, 7, 10 lines, PLEASE do it. There was a time where signatures would be truncated if they went past a certain number of lines. You don’t have to split your job title or company url to another line. That saves a couple of lines.
[name] – [job title]
Phone: (###) ###-####
name@example.org
[company name] <www.example.org>
Bang. Nice and compact. Respectful. My signature? Two lines. TWO.
name / email
job title / websites
That’s it. Listen and learn.
Sometimes technological advancement isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
