Your Digital Appearance Is Just As Important As Your Physical Appearance
http://www.lockergnome.com/it/2011/01/14/digital-appearance-physical-appearance/
Many people don’t realize that their digital appearance is just as important as their physical appearance.
If you show up for a meeting with your shirt un-tucked, hair disheveled, ripped jeans (you get the picture), your physical appearance is likely to leave a negative impression. Unfortunate — but true.
The same goes for your digital appearance and when I say digital appearance, I’m referring to the appearance of your emails, including your digital email signature. Unfortunately, as with the example above, your digital appearance influences how others perceive you.
Although it may seem trivial, you should give some thought to your digital appearance, particularly if you want to leave a professional impression. So here are a few things you should definitely avoid:
- Funky fonts
- Artistic photos and images
- Inspirational quotes
- Unprofessional e-mail addresses
- Fancy background colors/patterns
In a nutshell, less is best. Only include the essential information with simple formatting.
