If you're in the communications industry, it's highly likely that you've already used ChatGPT to carry out numerous tasks.
After all, who hasn't used it to write a reply email to a contact, come up with amazing concept ideas, or send the best Christmas message to their grandmother?
Well, yes! And here's how!
Since its creation, ChatGPT has ingested a wealth of information on nearly every topic. When it comes to email signatures, it has learned a great deal thanks to the high-quality content produced by experts in the field.
Ahem!
Thanks to this, ChatGPT now has an excellent understanding of the essential elements that should be included in an email signature. The tool can guide you in your creation, offer improvement suggestions, or even generate your HTML signature for you.
Every email signature must include certain fundamental elements. And these fundamental elements, ChatGPT knows very well. That's why it can—if you ask it—tell you which elements to include in your signature, or build your email signature from A to Z, making sure nothing is left out.
The basic ingredients of an awesome email signature:
The chatbot understands the visual codes of different industries. It can therefore make recommendations based on your job or the field in which you work.
Its analytical capabilities may also lead it to automatically suggest font choices, colors, and layouts that match your brand image.
Based on these capabilities, we decided at Letsignit to create our own AI Assistant, directly integrated into our product. This allows our customers to receive suggestions for improving the signatures and banners they've created.
Unless you use an email signature management solution, creating a signature for yourself and all your colleagues can be very time-consuming.
ChatGPT can, therefore, be a great alternative to save time. Creating multiple signatures for groups of colleagues or departments can be accelerated using the tool.
Moreover, by using artificial intelligence, you can significantly reduce errors in contact details or graphical inconsistencies among colleagues.
To fully leverage ChatGPT’s potential in creating email signatures, start with a clear instruction.
But if you want a more detailed signature, know that the more you feed the AI, the better it will be able to offer a signature tailored to your needs. Maximize the relevance of the results by adding details about your industry and the desired style.
But don't throw your computer out the window if things don't work perfectly on the first try (I know, I have a friend who tried that solution, and it didn't solve his problem). Even though we're less accustomed to getting non-instant results, the real secret to a successful signature lies in gradual refinement.
This iterative approach ensures a signature that, over time, will be much more aligned with your goals.
For it to be readable and display properly, your signature should be a maximum of 600-700 pixels wide.
We also recommend a 1.5 line spacing to improve readability and a 10-pixel margin around elements to avoid a cluttered look.
Since ChatGPT is mostly good at text, it's likely you'll need several iterations to get the desired result.
A successful professional email signature relies on the wise choice of graphic elements.
The arrangement of visual elements usually follows a clear structure: the logo on the left, your contact details in the center, and your social media icons aligned to the right or at the bottom.
Colors also deserve special attention. ChatGPT usually has good taste, but sometimes it may get carried away with its artistic impulses. So make sure to adopt a palette limited to 2-3 shades (in line with your branding). And of course, readability comes first! Use a clean font like Arial or Helvetica, size 11-12 points, which can be read both on desktop and mobile.
To ensure that all important information is included in the signature generated by ChatGPT, remind it to use a structure with distinct blocks:
And if you want to enhance your credibility, consider adding relevant certifications or accreditations. A URL to your portfolio or LinkedIn profile can also highlight your expertise to your recipients.
Practical tip: Create versions of your signatures tailored to your contacts. A complete signature for new contacts, a lighter version for daily exchanges, or why not, a banner adapted to the content of your email.
Creating multiple signatures is, of course, additional work, but this is where ChatGPT shines. Once you feel it has understood the style of signature you want to create, just ask it to make multiple variations!
Ideally, a professional signature should extend the message of your email. To create this harmony and logic, ask ChatGPT to adapt your communication banner to the overall tone of your message. A formal email will have more impact with a simple signature, while a marketing newsletter will benefit from a more dynamic signature.
So feel free to ask the AI to create the signature that suits you by specifying the desired style.
"Hey ChatGPT, can you make my signature more accessible?"
Feel free to research the main email software used in the market and ask ChatGPT to ensure that your signature is compatible with each of them.
Happy signature creation!
Yes, with the 'Campaigns' offer, it is possible to track the number of clicks on the email signatures of all your employees in the 'Statistics' area of the platform.
You can then access a detailed or global view of the number of clicks on the email signatures of each employee. You can use the search option to target a specific signature or a given period. Finally, you have the possibility to export all statistics to an Excel document.
If you launch campaigns with banners inserted in your email signatures, you can also access their performance via this same space.
With Letsignit, you can easily add social network icons in your collaborators' email signatures and link to your company pages. Also, our "attributes" feature allows you to manage personalized URLs for each of your collaborators such as their individual LinkedIn profile.
And that's not all: you can add links to an appointment-setting application, allow your customers to leave reviews easily, and integrate our 'Chat on Teams' widget to let anyone start a discussion via Microsoft Teams chat.
It’s up to you! As an administrator of the Letsignit platform, you choose whether or not to grant modification rights to your employees. These permissions are managed on an attribute-by-attribute basis, which means that you can decide to allow the employee to change their phone number, but not the address of your premises, for example.
This feature applies to all attributes in your directory, including custom attributes created on Letsignit. When your employees change one or more attributes, your directory is obviously not affected.
It often happens that employees make their email signature their own: custom format, bad fonts, colors inconsistent with the brand standards... all of this has an impact on your brand!
A consistent visual identity is considered authentic and outperforms a perceived weak one by 20%. And, your customers are 2.4 times more likely to buy your products.
With Letsignit, take back control over your brand identity by standardizing all your email signatures. Our tool has many features that allow you to customize your signatures by department, by audience or by subsidiary. Not to mention the possibility of carrying out campaigns within your email signatures thanks to our Campaign offer.
What is the user experience like for our employees?
In both cases:
In short, they have autonomy in their email signature, but you keep control on the field, signatures, and banners they can edit or use.
With our "multi-signature" feature, your employees can benefit from multiple email signatures. No technical manipulation is required. Thanks to our Add-in for Outlook or the desktop app, they can change their email signatures as they wish with just a few clicks.
Regarding the creation of email signatures, you can make several variations such as:
Everything has been thought of to go further in the personalization process based on the recipient of your emails.
If sending emails has an impact, non-optimized email signatures also have an impact. An unsuitable format or an image that is too heavy considerably increases the size of your signatures... and therefore, your emails.
As a responsible economic actor, we contribute to reducing our CO2 emissions and those of our customers in several ways:
As we are increasingly involved in sustainability initiatives, our priority in 2023 is to develop even more green IT functionality.
