I think everyone will always have their own opinion of what they want to include in their signature, but I am definitely interested to know what you discover. Thanks for the comment!

I have been using a program called Muvar to test out these types of variables in my email marketing program. I will have to come back to let you know if statistically you are accurate in your preference for the signature! I enjoyed the read thanks.

So thanks for the inspiration for my post! Customer service is such an important part of every business, yet I am amazed at the number of businesses with a serious lack of good customer service. I think the topic of providing good customer service can never get old, so it seems like a great topic for your next book. Best of luck!

I thought this signature from Booksurge really gave me more confidence in their customer service. I have been researching customer service as a topic for tmy third book.

A signature seems like such a small and simple part of an email; but the content (or lack there of) can certainly convey a very clear message. Chris, I like your top 11 list of what it takes to have a great signature, and I wish more people would follow #1 - "Don't say too little". However, it is interesting that #2 and #3 seem to counter what Matthew includes in his signature; and that he has found success with this. Thanks for the comments - it's great to hear that others find this seemingly simple topic interesting as well! Great comments – it’s interesting that email signatures can be such a hot topic.

About six months ago, I decided to grow bold from lame signature to Call-to-Action. If you received an email from me it would contain the following P.S. addition with a link to my men@pause seminars website: P.S. Want instant access to my men@pause tele-seminars and workshops where I equip you for professional success and personal significance before you too dead to regret...? Join me now! It has really been successful. I change it up every other month or so depending on where I want to drive people. Great post. Matthew Google men@pause Kristen,

Seems to be a hot topic lately. I was seeing so many blog posts about email signatures that I posted on it myself. <a href="http://chrisbonney.typepad.com/chris_bonney/2008/02/top-11-list-wha.html" rel="nofollow">http://chrisbonney.typepad.com/chris_bonney/2008/02/top-11-list-wha.html</a> Always nice to see another blogger carrying the same flame. Keep up the good work. Kristen-
