An email signature is your biggest opportunity to share information about yourself and/or your practice that helps build recognition and trust.

We like to think of an email signature as a modern, electronic business card. At its most basic, a professional email signature should include your personal information such as your full name, job title, and contact information such as your phone number, email address, website URL, and so on.
