12. Email Signatures
The number one biggest mistake with
email signatures is inconsistency. This
is usually because each employee
makes their own. One might have
an old logo; the next might be
using a different sized logo beside
a misspelled address. To achieve
a level of consistency that speaks
of professionalism, use the same
template across. Make sure every
signature matches the professional,
stylish format that is approved.

13. Website and Online Guidelines
The PMA website and online brand
guidelines leverage the existing presence
in a meaningful way that adds value and
reinforces the overall PMA brand.
Online branding should resonate with
stakeholders and audiences as a logical
extension of the PMA brand while
adding value in ways unique to the online
platform or medium.
