How to use email signatures in e-commerce campaigns?

‍

Why is an e-mail signature an underrated marketing tool?

‍

We often treat e-mail signatures as a technical detail – name, surname, position and maybe a logo. However, every message is a personal contact with the recipient, and an e-mail signature can act as a business card, advertisement and call to action – all in one. In addition it is always displayed automatically and without the need for additional clicks. This means that you have a real opportunity to reach customers with important information—e.g., about a new promotion, service, or current e-commerce campaign—without investing additional money in advertising.

How to use an email signature in an e-commerce campaign?

‍

Every e-mail you send can be part of your campaign – even the most routine, operational messages. All you need to do is design a signature that is not only informative, but also sales-oriented.

If you have launched a discount campaign, the signature can contain a CTA: “Check out our current promotions for businesses”. The point of an e-commerce email campaign is to make communication work on multiple levels - your customers can click on the link in the e-mail signature even after reading a message that is completely unrelated offer.

What to include in your signature to increase conversion?

‍

A good e-mail signature is more than just contact details – it's a mini-influence zone that can have a real impact on the recipient's decisions. It is also worth considering promotions in your email signature that can redirect directly to current special offers or campaign landing pages. If you are running a promotional campaign, it is a good idea to include a specific button (CTA) in your signature, e.g., “Schedule a free demo,” “See the offer for your industry,” or “Sign the document online in 3 minutes.” Make sure that the CTA in your email signature is short, clear, and easily visible. Also, remember to be consistent—your signature should not look like a random compilation of graphics and links. Use a simple layout: company logo, contact details, one call to action, link to campaign. This layout not only looks professional, but also increases conversion in e-commerce.

How to automate the implementation of e-mail signatures in your company?

‍

Implementing e-mail signatures in larger organizations does not have to mean manual work for every employee. There are tools that allow you to centrally manage e-mail signatures from a single person, such as an IT or marketing administrator. This allows you to make changes to your e-commerce email campaign simultaneously for all employees, such as adding a link to a promotion or changing the CTA graphic. Such solutions are available for both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace and in the form of dedicated platforms such as CodeTwo or WiseStamp. Importantly, well-implemented automation saves time, prevents errors, and ensures that the e-mail signature as a marketing tool works consistently and in line with the campaign objectives. If your company uses document management tools, it is worth considering whether an email signature could be a natural addition to them.
