You can also adjust the formatting to make it look professional. Remember, the maximum size for your email—including your signature, images, and text—should not exceed 65 KB, so keep it concise.

5 Common Mistakes When Updating an Email Signature in Outreach

When you decide to update your email signature, it's a great chance to show a professional image. But, there are some common mistakes you might make. Let’s go through them together so you can avoid these problems and create a strong signature.

1. Too Much Information

One big mistake is adding too much information in your email signature. You want to share key details, but adding your job title, phone number, social media links, and a quote can be too much. Keep it simple and stick to the basics.


Include: Your name, position, company name, and email address.

Avoid: Long lists of social media links or more than one phone number.

2. Not Optimized for Mobile

Many people read emails on their phones. If your email signature doesn’t look good on mobile, it might seem messy or unprofessional. Make sure your signature adjusts to different screen sizes.

Tip: Use a responsive design that works on phones and computers.

3. Broken Links

Sometimes we forget to check if the links in our signature work. If you include links to your website or social media, make sure they take the reader to the correct place. A broken link can create a frustrating experience for the reader.

Reminder: Test all links before finishing your signature.

4. Unprofessional Fonts or Colors

The style of your signature shows your level of professionalism. Avoid using fancy fonts or bright colors that can be distracting. Stick to simple fonts like Arial or Times New Roman, and use colors that match your brand.

Tip: Keep the font size between 10 and 12 points so it's easy to read.

5. Not Updating Regularly

It’s easy to forget to update your email signature. If you change your job title, company, or contact information, make sure your signature is up to date.

Tip: Set a reminder to review your signature every few months.

When Does It Make Sense to Use a Rich Text, HTML or an Image Signature?

Here’s a quick guide on when to use a Rich Text ,HTML and image signature:

When to Use Rich Tech/HTML Signature When to Use Simple Text Signature When to Use Image Signature
For Marketing Emails: Great for adding logos, branding, and CTAs. For Cold Emails: Keep it simple and personal for a better response rate. For Visual Appeal: Showcase a logo or stylish design, but no clickable links.
Mobile-Friendly: Ideal for emails viewed on multiple devices. Quick, Simple Emails: Best for fast communication without branding. Consistent Branding: Signature looks the same on all devices, but images might not load.
Professional Look: Best for business, sales, or client emails. Internal or Short Emails: Ideal for quick or informal communication. Sleek Design: Adds a clean, visual touch but lacks interaction.
