How to badge your email signature

Jg_insiderToday we received an email from Laura at Sue Ryder Care that included one of the pretty little buttons we make available in the charity account.

What buttons you say? The ones you get by following these instructions...

Ones like this little chap here:

Createpage1
Or on Laura's email signature like this:

That button, when clicked on, takes you to their fundraising area on Justgiving. And it's a great way to promote the site - even if people don't click on it, they'll still read it and potentially remember it...

Find out how to do it yourself by watching the short video tutorial below:

Now on my email signature, I have a very snazzy headline animator (courtesy of Feedburner) that shows the latest posts from this very blog:

The Justgiving charities blog

And what's cool about that is that I can get stats for it (I love stats) - and since our helpdesk have this in their signature too, a lot of eyes get to see it - 1,386 people in the last 30 days in fact.

So, whilst not many people may have clicked on the animator, a hell of a lot have seen it - and it's funny what things sometimes stick in people's minds...

Who knows, it might even be why you're reading this!
