Why Exclaimer makes an essential addition to your Microsoft stack
In the modern workplace, email is our primary form of communication. This means email signatures carry more weight than ever – not just in providing contact details, but through brand recognition and content marketing.
Hybrid working means that email remains the dominant form of corporate communication. Even with the dawn of instant messaging apps like Teams, individuals send and receive on average 126 corporate emails daily, internally and externally. And email isn’t only seen by the primary recipient – be it colleague, supplier, partner or prospect – emails are frequently forwarded to their connections too.
Most people overlook the potential of marketing to this audience via email signatures. Rather than seeing signatures as just modern-day, digital business cards, we could harness them as marketing channels. They present a unique opportunity to send key messages to people with whom you already have a trusted relationship.
Exclaimer email signature software facilitates this opportunity like no other solution. It not only enables users to easily create and change slick-looking, branded signatures at scale, but has the facility to add marketing assets in the form of promotional banners, advertising slogans, social links and tailored content.
The problem with traditional methods of email signature creation
IT professionals have long struggled to find effective methods of creating and updating email signatures. Traditional signature management methods are time consuming and tedious, and the added complexity of remote working has exacerbated this problem.
On the other hand, letting workers loose on designing and controlling their own signatures leads to unwitting errors and a lack of brand consistency. Problems which have to be resolved by the IT department.
Traditional email signature challenges:
- Images getting stripped out by certain email clients
- Not being able to test signature templates before they go live
- Signatures stacking at the bottom of email conversations
- Complex rules needing to be created so signatures are applied correctly
- HTML email signatures not functioning on mobile devices
- Blank spaces appearing in some users’ contact details
