12 Professional Email Signature Ideas to Support Your Marketing Campaigns

1. Your Homepage

The least you should promote in your email signature is your company's website. But in order for this tactic to be efficient, you have to make sure your homepage acts like alanding page.

In other words, it directs the visitor's attention to the activity you want them to take. For instance,HubSpot's homepagesuggests that you receive a free product demo. Including your website's homepage in an email signature also helps to expand awareness of your brand. Here's an example (with help from our friend, Harry Potter):

2. Social Media

When it comes to the usage of social media in email signatures, you have two options. You can either include a link to your personal accounts on sites such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Google+, etc., or you can include links toyour company's accounts. Both are good options.

3. Your Blog

Your blog is one of the smartest things you can include in your email signature because it provides value to the community and gets updated on a regular basis. The fresh content on your blog is more engaging than a static homepage and will most likely retain the attention of the visitor for longer.

If you do shine light on your blog, don't forget to includecalls-to-actionthroughout your posts to encourage readers to take the next step and become a lead.

6. New Marketing Offer

Have an offer that's doing a great job of converting traffic into leads? (You can tell by looking at their corresponding landing pages' visitor-to-submission rates in yourmarketing analytics). Identify your best performing offers, and then expose them to more traffic. Use your email signature to share a link to a popular ebook or a webinar. Or if you're currently featuring a new campaign that highlights a particular offer, use that in your signature instead. Here's an example of my own signature promotingthis guide:
