Add Business Card to eMail

Adding a business card to your email signature is a great way to increase brand recognition and advertise your company or name. Attaching a business card also adds a creative and professional look to your communication, and is an easy way for your contacts to spot your email address, phone number and any other information they may need. You can create a business card especially for your email, or you can use a scanned copy of your own in your signature.

Find a digital image of your business card. If you ordered your card online, you can right click on the preview image of the card and save it to your desktop. If the image is not available, scan your business card into your computer, with the front facing down. Save the image as a JPEG file, with the extension ".jpg."

Open the image in a photo editing program, either on your computer or using an online editor. Crop out excess space around the card, which may be there if you scanned it online.

Add Business Card to Email

Create a signature in your email account. The signature section is found in the mail options on most email programs. Click on the button that says you want to use a signature on all of your emails. Enter your name, title and contact information, such as phone number, email address, fax number and Web address.

Attach the picture. Most email accounts allow you to add an image to your signature, such as Microsoft Outlook and Gmail. As of July 2010, Yahoo! does not offer this feature yet. Insert the image of your business card in your signature.
