Email Signature Life Hack

Posted in Business by Rick at 9:13 am |

I’m sure some other people thought of this too, but a while back I realized that I was typing the same blocks of text in a lot of different emails that I was sending. For example, directions to our office, or where to park near our office, or our FTP information. God, what was the password again?

Then I realized that email programs already had something built for memorizing blocks of text. EMAIL SIGNATURES.

This picture totally explains what I'm talking about here.

So yeah, pop in this stuff and use it whenever. Who knows how much time you could save! Billions and billions of seconds will no longer slip through your fingertips!

hurrah.

This is awesome, but I can’t seem to make it work in outlook on the PC. Am I dumb?


Rick said:

You should just be able to go to Tools, Options, then Mail Format and click on “Signatures.” Then just add in the info that you might need to recall on a regular basis.

At least, that’s how it works in Outlook 2007. Does that help?


Adam said:

Except there’s not a way to insert signatures in the middle of an email.


Rick said:

You can pretty easily edit around that. Just copy and paste, or start typing after the signature. Hope that helps.

Good point, Rick. Signature features, including some of the webmail services like Hotmail, allow rich text and html coding, so you can link people to your site, demos, twitter page, etc. through the signature.
