How to Create an Email Signature

Follow this step-by-step guide to learn how to create an email signature that links back to your digital business card.

Every email is an opportunity to make a connection. With an average of 40 emails sent daily by professionals, you could miss out on hundreds of impressions for your brand each year if you’re not using the right email signature. 

That blank space at the bottom of each email offers a branding opportunity you shouldn’t miss, and poorly formatted, lackluster-branded, mismatched email signatures aren’t doing you any favors. 

With HiHello’s email signature generator, you can create a consistent and compelling brand experience designed to engage and convert business contacts with every email you send.

HiHello’s email signatures are more than a good design with basic contact information. They’re linked to your digital business card, so they can contain all of your information and are clickable, making connecting easy. 

Anyone who receives your HiHello email signature can find your digital business card, save your contact details right to their phone, and even send their information in return, so their details can automatically be added to your smart address book
