MAKING EVERY MESSAGE COUNT
As a VA, I find it mind boggling that seasoned marketers are still sending out email messages from their BlackBerry® with the signature block that reads “sent via my BlackBerry….”. I find it even more ridiculous when these seasoned marketers are tech-savvy.
Unless you own shares in this company, why on earth would you waste valuable advertizing dollars to promote their product when you could easily customize the signature block to include your own business name and contact information and whatever other data that is pertinent to marketing and growing your business?
It’s so simple to do and the benefit should be obvious, however to make it even easier, here are the instructions from their website.
Adding a signature to email messages that a user sends from a BlackBerry device
1.Click Manage users.
2.Search for a user account.
3.In the search results, click the name of the user account.
4.Click Edit user.
5.In the Messaging configuration section, click Default configuration.
6.On the Email tab, in the Mail options section, in the Auto signature field, type the signature that you want to appear in the email messages that the user sends from the BlackBerry device.
7.Click Continue to user information edit.
8.Click Save all.
Simple enough, don’t you think?
I am glad you’ll be able to give your clients this tip. Watch for my next post on getting more free advertizing for their business!
Thank you for such valuable information. I am new to Blackberry and am still learning all the essential tools. I have clients that also still use the default signature set up on their phones, I will pass on the information and let them know I learned from a resourceful VA. Thanks!
Hi Raven, YES! It’s so important to make sure that you utilize every tool available to market yourself. Who can afford to throw away valuable advertizing $$ especially in this economy?
