Best Practices for Adding Promotional Banners to Email Signatures
1. Keep the Dimensions Consistent and Compact
- Use banners with standard dimensions that fit neatly into your email signature without overpowering other elements.
- Recommended Size:
- Width: 600 pixels (max width so it looks good on mobiles)
- Height: 50–300 pixels (shorter banners maintain a professional look).
- Why: A compact banner ensures it doesn’t dominate the signature, especially on mobile devices.
2. Match the Design to Your Signature
- Use colors, fonts, and styles that complement the rest of your signature. For example:
- Match the banner’s color scheme to your brand colors or the colors used in your logo or social icons.
- Use Email Signature Rescue’s color overlay feature to align the banner with other signature elements.
3. Use High-Quality, Readable Content
- Keep the banner message simple and actionable, with minimal text. Focus on:
- Key Details: What are you promoting?
- Call-to-Action (CTA): Include a clickable link or button (e.g., "Register Now" or "Learn More").
- Use clear, legible fonts that are easily readable even on smaller screens.
4. Test Across Email Clients and Devices
- Ensure your banner displays correctly in major email clients (Outlook, Gmail, Apple Mail) and on mobile devices.
- Email Signature Rescue creates banners that render consistently across platforms.
5. Update Banners Easily and Frequently
- Rotate banners regularly to keep promotions fresh and relevant.
- Tip: Use Email Signature Rescue’s Default Images feature to apply new banners across all email signatures in your organization instantly.
