Email Signature Project Instructions - Outlook 2010

 

1.       To begin with, select a month on the left drop down and choose your favorite banner then right-click to Save image as… then save it to your local computer drive in a location you will remember.

1.       In Outlook, open a new message. On the Message tab, in the Include group, click Signature, and then click Signatures...

2.       You can select to edit or create a new signature. In the example below, we will create a new signature and name it "Marin Banner":

 

3.       To add in the image, click on the Insert Image icon and navigate to the location where you saved the image from Step #1.

4.       The banner you selected should now show up in the signature section.

5.       The next thing you will do is embed a clickable link into the banner to drive them to the landing page where the content lives. First you need to go back to http://forms.marinsoftware.com/email-signature.html and click on Generate URL! for the banner of your choice.

6.       Return back to the Outlook Signature section and simply click on the banner until you see a black border outline, then click on the Link icon:

 

7.       In the Address section, paste (CTRL+V or right-click and Paste) the URL you generated from Step #6. Click OK.

8.       Finally, you will return back to the signature section. If you are satisfied with your signature then click OK. Now you want to test to see that the banner and link actually works as a part of your signature. Go ahead and send yourself an e-mail by clicking on New E-mail on the top left hand side and add on the signature you just created/edited to include the banner. Open your e-mail you sent to yourself and click on the image. It should work and direct you to the correct page. You are done!
