With more companies relying on electronic signatures to resolve contracts with their partners and clients, the origin of any document sent must be instantly clear. Adding a custom brand to the e-signature process allows companies to clearly indicate that they are indeed the source of the email. Any legitimate e-signature service, such as Countersign, recognizes this and enables users to add custom branding to all client-facing communication.
Why is branding in the e-signature process important
Business transactions can be laborious, especially if it includes multiple emails, physical distance, or even time differences. Using the company brand as a constant element helps alleviate the relationship with the client for several reasons:
- Recognition. Clients know instantly who sent them the document. The branding consoles that they are doing business with the right company, reducing any delay in signing the document due to uncertainty or overlooked emails.
- Confidence. Clients are already familiar with your company’s brand. They trust your judgment and are more likely to trust the electronic signature process presented in your own colors.
- Credibility. Using an efficient tool to get signatures done is becoming a standard. Implementing an e-signature solution and presenting it in your own brand proves that you’re up-to-date and eager to please the client.
- Consistency. The e-signature solution will blend into any other communications sent to the client, allowing for a seamless, consistent visual, and tonal experience.
- Trust. For any business transaction, trust is a two-way street. Having your own brand welcoming your client in all communications will let them know that you are proud of what you have to offer.
