I’m wondering what the latest thoughts are on inserting clickable logos into email signatures (such as links to FB page, LinkedIn profile, Twitter)?  I’ve seen Blackberries and some PDA’s turn images into ugly marks on the screen.

Thanks

Absolutely! I put my main social media links, and my website link, in my signature. It’s a great way to allow people who are on a social media site to follow you if there was a connection.

@lesliecoty @donpurdum @rich-brooks Thanks for sharing (Rich, love your sense of humour)

I’m willing to test this theory out for those of you who have mobile devices–since I have both my picture and the social platform logos in my signature.

Feel free to send me a private message with your email (I promise–no SPAM), and I’ll send you a test message so we can see how they appear.

Susan Wright-Boucher Logos are not a good idea.  My experience is they significantly affect deliverability.  Plus, they show up as attachments in some systems, which makes it more difficult for the receiver to get your intended attachment.
Not everyone would agree, given the logos, social media icons, and QR codes that I see in signatures – but why take the risk when links are safer?

I stopped using my logo in my email signature because of spam filters. A number of clients we’re missing my emails. Their filters would kick my emails because of my logo image.

I pretty much do what Rich suggests. Works well for me.

@swrightboucher I uploaded it as an image – not sure why you can’t see it? hmmm
