Using Email Signatures People Will Remember

If you have ever received e-mails from friends, family members, or colleagues and have been jealous over their witty and personalized signatures, never fear! You can quickly and easily create your own signature panel that is sure to catch the eye of the reader.

The best way to personalize your e-mail signature panel is with quotes. Whether you choose to quote great leaders like Winston Churchill and Gandhi or witty wordsmiths like Mark Twain or Will Rogers, there is a quote for you.

To find your perfect quote, check out a book on the topic. The world famous Bartlett's Familiar Quotations is packed with quotes and quips from individuals of all walks of life, as is the fantastic Quote-A-Quote (www.quoteAquote.com) by Michael Ruge. Perfect for individuals seeking inspirational quotes about happiness, health, business, success, determination, triumph over adversity, plus downright hilarious ones.

Once you have found your particular quote, be sure that the context is appropriate for specific senders. This is crucial for individuals personalizing their business e-mail accounts. Although you may love a certain quote, it may not be appropriate for the office, especially if you


are sending e-mails to individuals in the chain of command.

If you cannot find a favorite quote, but instead have a slew of favorites, consider using them on a rotational basis. Rotating your quotes and changing your signature panel on your e-mail regularly will allow you to use all your favorites and provide the e-mail addressees with different perspectives into your personality.

Some individuals create quotes of the day on their e-mail signature panel and share a different quote each and every day. This may take more time than you are willing to spend personalizing your e-mail, but you could easily use a different quote each week or month.

Personalizing your e-mail with quotes is a great way to share a human aspect over the World Wide Web. Allowing your friends, family, and colleagues to enjoy your favorite quote can allow the receiver to learn more about you as a person and even find inspiration from the words.
