DocuSign - We're Now DocuBranding Too!

By
Industry Observer with Nature As Neighbors

Our mentors, Ron and Alexandra Seigel have taught us the devils in the details when it comes to branding. They often remind us of the importance of excellence and consistency in all of our presentations.  At ViewHomes of Clark County with Nature As Neighbors, our brand is our life, our passion. Therefore, we are proud to reflect it in all we do personally, and professionally.  

Recently, while updating some of the Admin details in DocuSign, we discovered a section for custom branding. Our clients all love the ease and convenience of signing documents through email. Therefore, since we use DocuSign so frequently, it makes sense to ensure our brand is reinforced during the signing process. 

It's pretty simple too. In the Admin section, under Account, you'll find a section called Branding. Choose edit, and you can enter the Hex numbers for your branding colors to get a perfect match. Add your logo, and you've gone from DocuSign like everybody else, to a customized "DocuBranding" experience. Here are the before and after examples.

Hi Debb, We use Authentisign and it is branded. When the email arrives it is all about my Berkshire Hathaway colors. It makes a difference.

Interesting information, Debb. I don't use DocuSign, as my company uses SkySlope and it's free to me to use their electronic signing service.

I am branded already through my brokerage but I also maintain my own account and I don't buy it directly through my company. That might allow me to add a few branding items like my logo as well, but maybe not. I'll have to go check it out.

Hmmm . . . I just tried to do it, and while I pay $180 a year for DocuSign, the "branding" shows no edit function for me. It does, however, take me to a page where I can pay an extra $300 a year to add my logo. That seems a bit excessive.

Really Elizabeth Weintraub Sacramento Real Estate Agent, Top 1% of Lyon Agents ?  I only pay the $180 a year.  I wonder why I was able to do it?  I agree with you - $300 is crazy for a logo.

I use digital option provided by CAR zipforms. I love it and never had any issues. The best part: it is free and connected to MLS, so all data is pulled conveniently.

I love DocuSign and it is worth the annual fee over the Digital Ink that is free from California Association of Realtors.... Need to figure out how to do the branding, will bookmark for more analysis, Endre
