Top 10 Email Signature Myths: #8
Continuing our countdown of the top 10 email signature myths…
Signature Myth #8:
“Plain text looks more professional.”
We get where this comes from. Clean. Minimal. Feels classic.
But here’s the problem: plain text = plain forgettable.
In a sea of inboxes, it’s the visual polish that catches the eye and builds trust.
Modern profestionalism isn’t about being boring—it’s about clarity, consistency, and brand presence.
Visual design done right can be:
Match your brand’s tone and visual identity
(increases recall!)
Feature smartly-placed links, not just ones thrown in
(increases click-through rates)
Guide your reader toward the next step
(increases close rates)
Include dynamic layouts like our eLetterhead, ePostcard, and eBusinesscard (increases standout and credibility)
That’s the kind of strategic difference that produces results.
You’re not generic. Why should your signature be?
The difference is in the details—and that’s our specialty.
