Using Your Digital Business Card in your Email Signature (Gmail)

An email signature is a great place to include a link to your Digital Business Card.

It means that people can click from their phone, and save your business details in their phone for future reference. It also has quick links to other important links to your business that you might have included (ex. offers or feedback requests).

To create an email signature, it can be as simple as your name with a link to "My Business Card".

To add your logo or profile photo, a free email signature generator (like this one by HubSpot) may help with formatting and making it look nice but it's not necessary.

Here are the steps to editing and managing your email signature in Gmail.

1.  Click the Settings in the top right of your Gmail. Then click "See all Settings"
   
   
   
2. You will stay on the General settings page that opens, and scroll down to the bottom until you see the signatures section.
   
   
   
3. Click "Create New" and give it a name like your company name or "default"
   
   
4. Type your signature details (or copy and paste the HTML code generated by a 3rd party tool).
   
   
5. Make sure to add a link to your digital business card.
   
   
6. Set your signature to go out for all new emails. Optionally set it to show on reply/forward emails or set it to use no signature.
   
   
7. Check the box to insert the signature before the quoted text in replies.
   
   
8. You can manually add the signature to any email you are typing if it doesn't show up by default.
   
   Click the pen icon and choose your signature you just named to add it to any email you are composing.
