I made animated signatures for my company's sales team, but originally their contact info was the last frame, so a lot of people never even saw it. Something to keep in mind when designing for compatibility, which every online marketer should do. In my experience, Outlook 2007 freezes animated GIF’s on the first frame.

I agree animated gifs are a fantastic idea. One word of caution is that they don't work in every email client (namely, Outlook 2007). However, I'd still say use 'em, just make sure the email makes sense with the first frame alone as that's all 'O7 users will see. Great post Linda! I agree animated gifs are a fantastic idea.
