If an email pertains to voiceover business my signature gets a little more informative; because as the old saying goes: 'Nothing should leave your hands without your contact info attached'. Contact info should include:
-Your name.
-The name of your business
-Your email adress(es)
-Your website
-Your phone number(s)
-and any links to your social media profiles (provided that the postings are fairly current).
If you have a slogan it wouldn't hurt if you put that there, too.
To the right is a snapshot of a new email ready to be sent from my phone; and the below graphic shows my signature when I open a new email in Outlook. I use the same format when I use Yahoo, too. You'll notice that my signature does not include any pictures; that's because some email servers have their security features set so that emails containing pictures will not be permitted (or need to be approved) to enter their system.
The difference between the signature on my phone and from my computer is that the phone signature doesn't contain any 'links' (or it could be that I just haven't figured out how to set them up yet). Links are important, espcecially when you're making contact with a perspective client for the first time. You want that person to be able to read, hear and contact you with the least amount of effort.
So...go ahead and create a signature, it'll save you alot of 'head-scratching'.
