Email Icon – More than Just a
Smiley
If you have an email address and you leave it anywhere on the web you are going to find that the
spam bots will pick it up and start to deluge your email box with tons of junk mail. However if you have your own
email icon in front of your address those people who receive your email will be able to see who it came from, but
the best part is that because of the icon the spam bots cannot pick it up. Using your own personalized email icon
can also be used as a way to link your email address directly to your blog or web site.
There are several different email icon generators available along with thousands of different
email icons that you can download. Not only are these icons great as a useful item for links and deterring spam,
but they can turn your boring textural email address into a bright and cheerful image. If you are using one for
your business email address, you can use your business logo as your email icon, which looks very professional.
Many people go beyond using an email icon for their email address and highlight the text within
their emails with a plethora of different icons that are similar to the ones used in the various chat services that
are more often referred to as "smileys." Used properly these icons can make an email much more appealing and in
many cases can help make a plain business email into something that a prospective customer will read, this could
lead to a potential increase in sales.
If you are the owner of a website you might want to consider using one of the millions of
different email icons available to entice people to send you an email. Most people tend to avoid the contact page
with the simple email instructions, however if you use a fun and suitable icon you may find that you get an
increase in the number of responses, which should result in an increase in overall business over time. No longer
just a smiley face the email icon has become an important part of every business email and should be used anytime
you send one out.
