Introduction

An e-mail signature is a type of business card on the Internet that creates the first impressions of an enterprising online business. The e-mail signature often helps leave behind a professional image, especially with business contacts.

In it, your partners and customers find relevant information. Typically added to the bottom of the email, the email signature gives you credibility and authenticity in the eyes of your partners or business associates.

An email signature typically includes the following elements:

• Your full name, including your surname
• The name of the company you work for
• Your job title
• Your other contact information, like an email address and a phone number
• A link to your company’s website
• Social media profiles (as applicable)
• A disclaimer, such as a privacy policy
