Emails are an integral part of any business, especially when it comes to digital marketing. According to statistics, more than 300 billion emails are sent and received every day. These staggering numbers highlight the importance of communication through emails.

If you’re using email for sales and marketing purposes then having a solid email signature is essential. It convinces the recipient about the sender’s legitimacy, which is the most crucial element of email marketing.

Creating legitimate and attractive email signatures is no more a difficult task to perform. HubSpot email signature generator is an impressive tool for creating comprehensive email signatures that include all the essential elements.

Step 1: Create an Email Signature in HubSpot

HubSpot provides a free email signature generator that helps users create persuasive and attractive email signatures, without any coding, within no time.

HubSpot’s email signature generator is a drag-and-drop builder with pre-built templates that you can customize according to your choice. Here is a step-by-step process to do it.

  1. Visit the Official Page: HubSpot has a dedicated web application for its email signature generator. You can visit the page from here.

  2. Choose a Template: HubSpot email signature includes four main functions that are template, personal details, customization, and call to action (CTA). Here, you first select a template according to your personal preferences. HubSpot offers six basic templates that you can further tune with the help of customization.

  3. Personal Information: This is the most comprehensive section of the HubSpot email signature generator, which includes personal and professional information. First, you enter basic details, such as your name, job title, department, company name, etc. After that, you enter contact details, which include your phone number, email address, and website URL (if any). You can also add your permanent or current address on top of this.
    Besides this, HubSpot allows you to add your social media links with minimalistic yet compelling icons which look perfect at the bottom.

  4. Customization: It offers all the basic customization options inside the HubSpot email signature generator. You can modify the theme, text, and link color according to your liking or business branding needs.
    Moreover, you can change font size and choose a font from the eight most popular fonts.

  5. Custom signature image and CTA: It includes your profile picture along with a logo image. Adding a custom signature image as a logo for your email signature is an essential step to perform. People either add their business logo if they run a business or the company logo for which they work.
    To add your profile picture or logo image, you first need to add it to a cloud storage platform, such as Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive. After adding them to a cloud storage platform, you can paste their link into this section.

The last section of HubSpot’s email signature generator lets you create a custom CTA to drive potential customers. You can either write a custom CTA or paste a link to add from a third-party website. One more point to keep in mind here is that you cannot write more than 24 characters for it.
On top of this, you can also paste an image link from a cloud platform that contains a custom CTA. Here, you can modify the CTA text color as well.

After completing the email signature, click the “create signature” button at the bottom of the page. You'll see some basic questions. Answer these questions and click on the “Confirm & Submit” button. With this confirmation, your email signature will be created.
Now, you can copy and paste your signature into multiple platforms, including Gmail, Outlook, and HubSpot. Besides this, you can also copy and paste the signature with the source code if you face any issues.
