Step-by-Step Guide

Gather Your Branding Assets

Collect your headshot, company logo, brand colors, and NexaLink card URL before you begin.

Tip: Use the same headshot on your email signature and digital card for instant recognition

Choose a Signature Layout

Pick a layout that balances text and visuals. A two-column design with your photo on the left and details on the right works well.

Tip: Keep the total height under 150 pixels so it does not overwhelm the email body

Add Your NexaLink Card Link

Insert a clickable text like 'View My Digital Card' or a small button linked to your NexaLink URL.

Tip: Place the card link on its own line for maximum visibility

Include a Mini QR Code

Download your NexaLink QR code and embed it as a small image (60x60 pixels) in the signature.

Tip: The QR code lets recipients scan directly from a printed email or second screen

Test Across Email Clients

Send test emails to Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail to verify the signature renders correctly everywhere.

Tip: Use inline CSS styles because some email clients strip external stylesheets
