Socially Savvy Signatures
If you’re feeling like your clients just aren’t finding you on social, start with this one easy tactic.
- Add an invitation to connect socially right in your email signature. When you add a benefit statement, you’ll create the reason and incentive for your readers. Super easy! You may want to say something like this: “Inspire your travel planning! ‘Like’ my Facebook page to learn more about unique destinations that will relax and rejuvenate you.” (remember to hyperlink the word ‘Facebook page’ as highlighted so readers can connect right to your social site.)
- Bonus: Do you have a theme of the week for your social marketing topics? If so, change your email signature line weekly to reflect your weekly theme. An ever-changing email signature line will catch the attention of your readers.
