All our tips for designing effective and high-performing banners

Written by emma portier

Why include campaigns in your email signatures?

Campaigns integrated into email signatures are a powerful marketing tool:

  • They allow you to showcase your news, content or offers on a daily basis

  • They reach a targeted audience (your email contacts)

  • They help generate traffic and conversions

Remember to share your news regularly to maximise the impact!


What are the correct dimensions and formats to use?

To ensure good visibility across all email platforms:

Recommended dimensions: 600 x 180 pixels

Image file sizes:

  • Signature only: 200 KB max

  • Campaign only: 300 KB max

  • Signature + campaign combo: 500 KB max

Tip: optimise your images (compression) to avoid long loading times and blurry images!

How can you ensure visual consistency?

For professional and effective campaigns:

  • Stick to 2 or 3 colours

  • Use a maximum of 2 typefaces

  • Keep the same dimensions across all your campaigns for greater consistency

👉 Aim: to strengthen your brand image and improve readability.

How to create an effective message?

1. A short but impactful message

Get straight to the point

Highlight a single main idea

Make people want to click

👉 Your banner must be clear within 3 seconds

2. Always include a CTA (Call-to-Action)

A CTA is essential for generating engagement.

3. Always include a URL link

Each campaign must link to a dedicated page: a landing page (LinkedIn, website, etc.)

Make sure the page is consistent with the message.

How can you measure the performance of your campaigns?

There are several ways to track the performance of your campaigns:

1. Directly in Letsignit

  • Understand which marketing activities work best.

    Gain accurate data to optimise your campaigns.

🚀 What are the best practices to follow?

- Create campaigns regularly (news, content, events, etc.)
