An email signature is a powerful tool; it can act as your virtual business card, subtly promoting you or your business, even on the most mundane email. Whether you want to leave a professional impression or share your contact details seamlessly, Gmail makes it easy to set up a customized email signature. In this blog post, we will guide you through the simple steps on how to put a signature in Gmail.
