How To Launch A Successful Email Signature Marketing (ESM) Campaign

If you’re working for a company with more than one employee, there’s an opportunity for your company to utilize email signatures to manage and drive awareness, acquisition, upsell, and retention initiatives but doing it in a manner that’s not intrusive. Your employees are writing and sending countless emails every single day to hundreds, if not thousands, of recipients. The real estate in every 1:1 email that leaves your email server is an incredible opportunity that’s seldom taken advantage of.

Each email that an employee sends has the opportunity to be properly branded with a great signature, as well as provide a call-to-action to drive awareness of rewards, products, services, etc. that your prospects or customers may be unaware of. The solution is to centralize and develop a strategy around deploying email signatures across your company.

What is Email Signature Marketing (ESM)?

Email Signature Marketing (ESM) is the practice of using your email signature for marketing purposes such as increasing brand awareness and improving the CTR of your business outreach and marketing emails.
