Your Outlook signature is a great place to promote your business or cause by adding a graphic, logo, etc. In Outlook 2007, it’s a lot simpler to do this.

1. From the Inbox view, click the Tools menu, Options, Mail Format tab, Signatures.
2. Choose the signature you want to work with. When it appears in the notes area, click inside where you want to add the picture, click the Picture icon, find the desired graphic, and double-click to insert.
3. Select the picture, click the hyperlink icon (the chain next to Picture), and add a hyperlink to your Website, etc. (basic instructions on adding a hyperlink to a graphic are in this previous post – with video).
4. Click OK, OK.

So go ahead and add this quick, easy way to shamelessly promote what you’re doing. If you want to dig deeper and learn more about Outlook , I’ve written a book, Conquer Email Overload with Better Habits, Etiquette, and Outlook 2007.

PEACE.
