# Weekly Call w/ Karly — 2025-11-03 (Quarra)

## Overview

Brief item from the weekly Karly/Mark sync. Quarra (referred to as "Cora" in the transcript) requested help creating a text-based email signature to replace their current image-only signature, which was causing deliverability and display issues.

**Meeting recording:** [Fathom](https://fathom.video/share/tHT26U9HEUW24o4_sGQM3abBqUXGvUCT)
**Attendees:** Karly Oykhman, Mark Hope

## Request

Quarra's team (contact: Lincoln) wanted an email signature that:

- Matched their existing image-based signature design
- Would not be blocked by image-filtering email clients
- Would not render as an attachment in Gmail
- Included a clickable link and their logo

The existing signature was a flat image, which caused two known problems:
1. Some recipients' email clients block images, making the signature invisible
2. Google/Gmail sometimes treats image-only signatures as attachments rather than inline content

---

## Solution

Mark recommended the **free HubSpot Email Signature Generator** as a self-serve starting point.

**How it works:**
- Available at [HubSpot Email Signature Generator](https://www.hubspot.com/email-signature-generator)
- Offers multiple layout templates selectable from a left-hand panel
- Fields for name, title, phone, company, and logo image upload
- Output is an HTML signature — the logo renders as an image, but all other fields are text
- The generated signature can be copied and pasted directly into Outlook or other email clients

**Result:** The logo remains an image (acceptable), but contact details and links are text-based HTML, resolving the blocking and attachment issues.

## Key Decisions

- Start with the HubSpot free tool rather than engaging the design team
- If Quarra has issues with the generator or wants a more custom layout, escalate to the design team as a follow-up
