What is an HTML Email Signature?

An HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) signature is a block of text, with or without graphics, appearing at the bottom of an email. The HTML email signature stands out from plain text signatures because it can display images in different sizes, colours, and shapes. There are also options to add tracking links, lines, dots, other design elements.

The sales team needs to have a standardized email signature when communicating with customers so your company has a cohesive branding appearance across all platforms. Sales team managers often overlook this element, but it is just as important as the company name in your email address.

What Are the Benefits of HTML Email Signatures? 

HTML signatures for emails sent from Zoho CRM come with a lot of advantages for sales teams. This block of words and/or graphics at the end of every mail you exchange with your customers ensures enhanced branding along with a uniform customer service experience.

This allows the sales team to offer personalized communication which improves click-through rates, website visits, and calls. These signatures ensure that your customers know your brand, and the text and graphics promote brand name and consistency. They can also promote your latest campaign or promotion while driving brand credibility.
