Leaving a lasting impression is hard. Doing it at the end of an email is even harder. Signatures are a way to personalize and brand your email, to let the recipient know, visually, that this email is different and from you. Outlook with its unique ribbon, give you the ability to create personalized signatures for your Hotmail messages. You can set it up so that signatures can be added automatically to all messages, or which messages will include a signature.

Alternatively, you can change the appearance of any text you add using the mini format toolbar above the text box. And you can also add icons and social media links.

Here are step-by-step instructions to guide you to create an email signature in Outlook.
