What is a Sig File?A Sig file (also known as signature file) is a short snipet of text at the end of emails that adds extra information about you, your product or service. Or it could just be a quotation. Generally speaking a sig should only contain between 2 and 6 lines of text. If you exceed 6 lines, in most cases, the recipient of the email will lose interest in what you are trying to get across.
Why Use A Sig?Contains your contact information, increases your site traffic and is a FREE and less obvisous way to market and brand yourself, along with your products & services.
What should be in a sig file?Your name
Name of your company or product
Contact information (phone, fax, email)
Domain name or URL (make certain that you place
http://www.yourdomain.ws so that your email program creates a hyperlink. That is very important because if the url is not clickable, guess what? In most cases, no one
WILL visit your website).

How to Setup a SigMost email programs (including web-based) offer the option of setting up your own email signature. MS Outlook Express & MS Outlook, for example, allows you to create signatures and choose a 'default' setting. (If you want your signature to be automatically attached, make sure that the default option has been selected.) Once set up, your signature will be attached to outgoing messages.
Personally, every email that leaves my PC has my signature at the end of the message, even if it's a joke that people forward to me. If you've heard of viral marketing, you'll understand that concept. Hope this little bit of information helps you with your marketing efforts...to your continued success!
