Besides having an email signature, it should:
*Provide some contact information
*Provoke curiosity to drive traffic to your web site or web page
*Keep you in compliance with the CANSPAM laws
How to set up your signature...
>Open Outlook
>Click on Tools
>Click on Options
>Click on the Mail Format tab
>Click on the Signatures... button
>Click on New
>Type the Title of you signature - i.e. "Work"
>Click the Next button
>Type and format the information I've suggested belowl
>Click the Finish button
>Click OK
Just above the Signatures...button you can assign your signature to the email accounts you have set up. This is slick in that it allows you to have a particular signature assigned to an email address.
What your signature should have...
>Your name
>Contact phone
>Company name
>Your office address - do not use your home office address
>That's all that's required for federal CANSPAM compliance...your individual state or company may have other requirements you'll need to meet.
You should also...
Drive Traffic to Your Website! Use a short phrase to create curiosity and or encourage people to go to your website or your personal page on your company website. Some examples could be:
>The Latest Real Estate Sales Stats are on my site
>What's Your Home Worth? Find out here...
>Complimentary RE Newsletter -trends, tips for buyers and sellers
I'm sure you get the idea.
Happy Sales,
