Every email sent out on your behalf can be considered a marketing piece…
that contains your name, company name, website, and other contact information.
There are several types of email software that real estate agents use:
- Microsoft Outlook – most common
- Gmail
- Yahoo
The software you use dictates how you can change your email signature, what to include (pictures, hyperlinks, etc.) and how it will display in the recipients inbox.
Here are two ways my appears:
Sent from Microsoft Outlook
Advantages:
- Pictures as icons

Disadvantages
- Pictures may be seen as spam
- Pictures may be included as individual attachments
…
Sent from Gmail
Advantages
- No pictures or attachments included

Disadvantages

Which one you do you like best?
It will be up to you to decide which format you want to use, which links, if you will use pictures as links, etc.
Instead of reinventing the wheel or trying to find or create the little icons download this Microsoft Word document to switch my information with yours for your R & D (ripoff and duplicate).
