Description
Turn every outgoing employee email into a passive marketing channel by adding a branded CTA banner and tracked links to signatures. Your team already sends thousands of emails — this makes every single one work harder for zero extra ad spend. Companies using optimized signatures see 5-10% CTRs (7x-15x higher than retargeting) and 22% higher response rates.
