Overview
Corporate email signatures should be well structured and thought out before implementation. Things to consider are corporate colors, logos, the details that should be shown in the email signatures, the design as well as the overall size of the email signature in KB. A large email signature will not only use up a lot of space on email servers, but it will also make any IT migrations in the future much more difficult.
If you have 1000 employees, this can easily add up to additional costs to store the email signatures on the mail server, so make sure the size is small! Gimmio specializes in corporate email signatures, which will make the whole process of making an email signature really easy. Have a look at our corporate email signature examples below.
