Including images in your email signature, should you?

Recommended Posts

I want to include our company logo in my signature for all emails i send. If set that up with my mail client, it attaches the logo as an attachment so it can display my logo in the clients email.

 

I'm thinking of maybe linking to the image instead so it wouldn't be an attachment.

 

My question is, are there any pro's or cons to either method... or should i avoid the image in the signature completely?

 

Thank you in advance.

pro's

- it might look "neat"

- it can be used as a read receipt/trackback

 

con's

- its *annoying*

- anyone who rejects html email will never see anything from you

- its *annoying*

- it bloats your emails

- its *annoying*

- some providers will more readily classify you as a spammer

and

Yes sorry... Go to setup > general settings > you will see a spot that says "Logo URL" just leave it blank.. I took out the url that I had put in and the images went away from all the emails..

Sorry, I should have shared that info yesterday..

 

Awesome thanks :). How did doing that affect your invoices where the logo should be?

That feature should be deprecated or changed in the stock email templates. While it could store it as a smarty tag, it's annoying as hell how they use it, now.

 

Agreed!

 

I noticed Gmail also changes any links in emails, adding a ">" on the end of the link, making it an invalid link and setting off the phishing filter if the client replies and doesn't strip the quoted text.
