When you send an email, you’re sending a message, but the message you send could be far more powerful if you add a custom signature. WiseStamp makes it easy to add a custom signature to your email accounts.
What is WiseStamp?
WiseStamp is a free service that lets you add customized signatures to personalize your email accounts. An email signature is information that gets automatically added to the end of your email messages when you send them. The signature appears in the draft of the email so you can delete the signature in the draft if you don’t want to include it for a particular message.
Here’s an example of my WiseStamp email signature that’s automatically added to the end of my email messages:
WiseStamp helps you design and add your signature to your email easily, with dozens of features available. You can add images, links, RSS feeds, music and video to your signature. WiseStamp works with most major email providers.
WiseStamp has been around for a while, with over 450 million WiseStamp emails sent from over 17 million users in more than 225 different countries.
What You Can Add to Your WiseStamp Signature
With WiseStamp you can include your contact information, personal photo and/or company logo. You can customize the color, size and font of your signature, as well as add a border and background color.
You can add social media icons with links to your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Flickr accounts. You can add links to your chat ID’s from instant messaging sites such as Skype, AIM, Google Chat and Yahoo. You can add a QR code that links to a website.
Dynamic Content
You signature doesn’t have to be a constant. WiseStamp can update your signature with the latest information that you post. Your Wise Stamp signature can include your most recent:
- Pin on Pinterest
- Video on YouTube
- Posts on Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Tumblr
You can add a feed to so that a link to your latest blog post appears in your signature.
You can share the music you like. WiseStamp lets you add a Music App to your signature that links to your favorite last song on Pandora, Last.fm or Blip.fm.
WiseStamp can also help you be inspirational, while doing the hard work for you. You can add a Random Quote app, choosing from Loving, Inspirational, Funny, Life & Lessons, and Success. You can even add keywords so the apps will find quotes related to the keyword. Or you can add your own quotes.
You can also display interesting facts with the Did You Know? app.
An update to WiseStamp earlier this year lets you add your latest Pinterest, Twitter and YouTube postings to the side of your email message.
How You Can Use WiseStamp
–If you have a business, you can link to your website and include your company logo.
–If you’re looking to get more Twitter followers, include your latest Tweet for people to retweet and a Twitter icon for people to follow you on Twitter.
–If you sell on Etsy or eBay, you can have WiseStamp display your most recent listing.
–If you have a blog, WiseStamp can display a link to your latest blog post.
–If you’re a mobile app developer, you can include links to your app on iTunes and Google Play.

–If you want to dress up your email signature to express yourself, you can add pretty much whatever you want!

Getting Started with WiseStamp
To begin using WiseStamp, you first create an account. Go to WiseStamp.com and log in with Facebook or create an account using your email address. You’ll be guided through a few easy steps to create your custom signature.
Take some time to explore all that you can do with your signature. Experiment and see what your signature looks like in the Preview mode.
You then connect WiseStamp with your email account. If you only have one email account you can add WiseStamp directly to your email account. If you have more than one email account and want to use the same signature with all of your email accounts, you can add a WiseStamp browser extension to Chrome or Firefox.
Note that not all email accounts are supported but many are, from providers such as:
You can find out more information about getting started from the WiseStamp website.
WiseStamp Plans
WiseStamp is free to use, with paid plans available offering added features:
The free version includes a link to WiseStamp in the signature which can be removed with a paid plan. I suggest you try out the free version first and then decide later if it’s worth upgrading to the paid version.
Note that WiseStamp signatures only appear on emails sent from your computer. WiseStamp is not yet enabled for emails sent from mobile devices.
Bottom Line
Make your email signature your own by adding images, social media links, feeds, videos, music and more!

Awesome Carolyn!
This IS wonderful indeed! Never heard of Wisestamp earlier, though it looks like just the thing that would add more meaning to our emails. More so, we have the options of adding our social icons and even the quotes, which I love the most. 🙂
Does the free version have the facility to add these social icons in the signature too? I guess we should do just as you mentioned – try out the free one before planning to go in for the paid one.
Thanks for sharing this nice service with all of us. Have a nice week ahead 🙂
Hi Harleena, I’m so glad you like WiseStamp! All bloggers should grab it immediately, in my humble opinion. My favorite part is that you can add your RSS feed and have the title of your latest blog post appear in your signature.
Yes, I have the free version and have found it to be great. I may upgrade later to get more templates and to support the developers because I get so much value from their tech.
I imagine you will have a great signature, Harleena. You’ll have a lot of fun designing it, I’m sure!
Thanks for starting off the conversation, Harleena!
Hi Carolyn,
I like this one. I used to add a signature to emails in Outlook but it was fiddly. It kept going wrong too. Now I add a button that links to my LinkedIn profile. I don’t send so many emails as I used to now. I email guest bloggers sometimes and that’s about it.
I sometimes add a link to my website too.
This weeks pictures on my blog include a black and white edit that you might like. I took out a satellite dish!
Hi Mike, I thought of you when I wrote this. You could display you latest photos and blog posts! It’s free, so why not check it out?
I started yo read your post yesterday in my email, but then didn’t get back to comment. I will definitely head back there today for my weekly photography lesson! :-bd
Hi Carolyn,
I have heard of WiseStamp but I haven’t ever used it. It is intriguing, I am going to investigate it and might add it to my email tool kit.
Hi Josh, Yes, you absolutely should check out WiseStamp. I love that my latest blog post gets a link in my email. The service updates the link within the hour that I publish, very cool! Every blogger should use this. 🙂
Like always, this post has given me something new and engaging.
WiseStamp signature sounds like fun and a great way to revamp the boring signatures in the email. Have to give it a shot.
Thanks for the share Carolyn
Hi Rashmi, Yes, WiseStamp is a great way to share some of your personality, business, blog and other interests with others. I hope you have a great time designing your signature, Rashmi!
Hi Carolyn,
This is awesome. Before I even got through the rest of the post, I stopped and shared it. I am so happy you provided this information. So needed something like this and it sounds great. I love that you can do so many things with it and I can’t wait to try it. Great information. Thanks so much.
Barbara
Hi Barbara, Welcome to The Wonder of Tech! I’m so glad you’re as excited about WiseStamp as I am. That’s exactly how I felt when I discovered WiseStamp, I couldn’t wait to try it.
WiseStamp is very easy to use and a lot of fun too! My favorite part is how it imports the links to my latest blog posts.
I hope you enjoy designing your signature, Barbara! 🙂
Hi Carolyn
This does look awesome. I love it. Now I see Outlook is not listed but maybe this will encourage me to use my gmail account more.
I had not heard of it so thank you. Even for a person like me who does not like techie stuff I think I could do this. 🙂
Sue
Hi Sue, I’m so glad you discovered WiseStamp here! Your signature is very easy to design, WiseStamp has made the process as easy as possible. It’s very intuitive plus the website has videos to guide you with every step. But let me know if you have any questions, I’m happy to help!
I purposely didn’t mention Outlook because Outlook is a little confusing now, which is due to Microsoft, not WiseStamp. WiseStamp doesn’t work on traditional Outlook but WiseStamp does work with Outlook.com emails, the new name that Microsoft gave to its Hotmail email service. Here is how WiseStamp explains Outlook: http://www.wisestamp.com/outlook-signature
Enjoy your new email signature, Sue!
Hi Carolyn,
I use WiseStamp on my Gmail accounts, but I actually didn’t know that you could use it on different email accounts. I also didn’t know all the different things you could do with it. Very cool!
I will definitely keep this post in mind as a reference to elaborate on my wisestamp signature.
Hi Sylviane, Yes, if you have more than one email account, you should get the WiseStamp extension for Chrome or Firefox so you can have your signature on your different email accounts.
Although I’ve been using WiseStamp for a while, I learned even more by researching this article.
WiseStamp is very powerful, easy to use and free, which is why I am so excited to share it here!
Hey Carolyn,
I love Wisestamp although I’m still using the free version I only need it for one account though. I have a signature set up on my main email account and it won’t let you use Wisestamp I’m afraid.
I think it’s a great service though and one everyone should use so that they can stand out from the rest. Have all their information readily there and available.
For those who aren’t familiar with it I hope they’ll check it out now.
~Adrienne
Hi Adrienne, It’s great to hear that you’re a fan of WiseStamp too! Yes, most people can get by just fine with the free version.
I agree with you, I think everyone who has an email account should get WiseStamp!
Thank you Carolyn!
I have never heard of this before but it surely looks interesting! It makes our “signature” look so professional!
The other thing I like about it is that you have made it so simple to use. I get all boggled over things that use too much tech stuff. But here it is only a few clicks and customizations and voila…you have such a professional look!
I just book-marked this post to dig into it a little more.
Thanks for sharing a great find,
Donna
Hi Donna, I’m so glad you like WiseStamp! You’re really in for a treat here. WiseStamp truly is super easy to use, plus designing your signature is actually fun. Next time you send an email you’ll be proud of your new signature. 🙂
This looks very interesting! Thanks for sharing. I am going to go and give it a try, see how my email signature looks.
Hi Carol, Yes, you can do so much with WiseStamp, you can make your email signature unique and powerful. If you need inspiration, check out the WiseStamp Pinterest board linked in the article above!
Hi Carolyn,
I love wisestamp! I’ve been using it for a long time. I love how diverse it is. For a long time, I had my latest post in my signature. Now I have images of my novels with links to purchase them.
You’ve given me the idea to ease up on the links and instead point people to my website. I might just add my blog posts again!
One thing that I’ve kept consistent is my social buttons. I definitely want to connect with people on the social networks where they’re already hanging out!
Have a great day,
Stacy
Hi Stacy, That’s great that you’re already a fan of WiseStamp. You bring up an excellent point, we need to revisit our WiseStamp signatures every so often to make sure we are making the best use of this service!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your experiences with WiseStamp, Stacy. Have a super weekend!
Hi Carolyn.
I am using WiseStamp and I am very satisfied with it. I started using it a few months ago, as I started to think about how to promote my business via email. I send a lot of emails to my clients and partners, and I really wanted them to look great and I wanted people to visit my blogs, and WiseStamp is a great way to get noticed and drive traffic to other sites.
Awesome review Carolyn.
Hi Jens, I was wondering if you used WiseStamp already because your email signature looks fantastic. You have such a professional logo and you display it well in your emails.
Thanks for letting us know about your WiseStamp experience, Jens!
WiseStamp is a great example of how feeds of content can enrich our everyday lives. In this case, there’s nothing in our emails being analyzed, but email’s communication capabilities are built upon and added to by WiseStamp. i am one of the users of WiseStamp.I find it so useful and helpful.It helps me in doing good work in my email.It added alot of things to my Email.In addition to that, it gives me things i never thought i will have in my email like having the options of adding our social icons and even the quotes.I really adore it.
Hi Robert, Welcome to The Wonder of Tech! I’m so glad to hear that you are a fan of WiseStamp too. You’re right, it allows us to add elements to our emails that we wouldn’t have otherwise. All this for free, how cool is that?
Thanks so much for stopping by and letting us know about your thoughts on WiseStamp, Robert!
Very interesting Carolyn! We have customized email signatures before for clients, and one of the things we have found is that too many links and images in a signature often lands the email in SPAM. Any sense of whether or not WiseStamp resolves this issue?
Hi Ruth, I haven’t had that issue with WiseStamp. In fact, I would almost think that WiseStamp shows people that the email actually came from you. A spammer would have to be very industrious to copy your WiseStamp signature and send it in hacked emails. I know when I’ve been getting spam emails from hacked accounts lately, the emails have just contained a link with nothing else. Anyone who would be looking for a WiseStamp signature would more quickly realize that the email address was sending out spam from a hacker if the WiseStamp signature weren’t on the email.
Thanks Carolyn for your reply. I’m more so talking about filters within the email server (especially in larger companies) that automatically designate and filter as spam those emails that contain too many images or links. Not sure if WiseStamp would have any data about what percentage of their email users have their emails land successfully in the in boxes, but it might be worth asking. I love a company with the word ‘wise’ in their name :-).
Yes, Ruth, all I can tell you is that it doesn’t seem to be an issue for the emails I have sent. I will contact WiseStamp with your question though.
Yes, you and WiseStamp are kindred spirits!
Carolyn,
That’s really nice and users will love it.
I believe, the feature would help email marketing business where it will simply allow users directly go to your site or blog. It’s kind of virtual visiting card to access all our social podium through simple mail. 🙂
Thanks for sharing the info.
Hi Vijay, That’s a great way to describe the service – like leaving a business card on every email you send. Brilliant!
I just saw a thank you message from someone you helped get wisestamp to work. I downloaded it twice but it will not open or install. My operating system is Mac os X 10.4…my browser is Safari…is this causing the problem? THANKS FOR ANY HELP OFFERED.
Judy
Hi Judith, Welcome to The Wonder of Tech! I’m sorry you’re having issues installing WiseStamp on Safari. You can check the WiseStamp help website for I can’t seem to install WiseStamp. What can I do?
If that doesn’t work, you should contact WiseStamp directly and they should be able to help you. Good luck with it! Once you get your issue sorted I’m sure you’ll enjoy using the service!
Hi Carolyn,
That’s very cool 🙂 I’ve never heard of it, though I’ve seen a similar email signature recently.
Actually I like how it adds social icons and latest post via RSS. Hmm… Bloggers will love it for sure. It’s professional 🙂
Just added to Chrome and wanna see how it works 😉
Cheers…
Hi Mayura, That’s great you’re using WiseStamp now. I think you’ll really enjoy the ease of both design and use. I look forward to seeing your new WiseStamp signature!
Great little service…
I like the idea of pulling your last tweet/pin/youtube and embedding into your signature. Adds a little dynamicity to otherwise boring monotonous looking email signatures.
I must try this sometime. Like in your example, the best that can help us to embed the iTunes and Android link in the WiseStamp.
Thanks again for bringing yet another hidden useful service to us.
Hi iRewardChart, Yes, WiseStamp will really let you jazz up your emails so people will really look forward to getting email from you (even more than they do already)!
Now, THAT’s really something I could use!
Thanks for the suggestion, Carolyn, nice seeing you again. 🙂
Hi Helene, Welcome back to The Wonder of Tech! So great to see you again here.
I’m so glad you found this helpful. I hope you have a lot of fun designing your signature, Helene. 🙂
