Which is the best email signature format?

Having a good structure and format is essential when you use an email signature generator to create a signature. Its format will either make or break the impression your email signature will leave on recipients. So, you must use a clean and organized signature format to keep it professional.

Here is what you can do:

  1. Use concise words. For example, write CEO instead of Chief Executive Officer. Ignore vague, misleading, and misspelled titles
  2. Add your logo or image
  3. Customize your design preferences using the “Style” tab
  4. Business name
  5. Job title
  6. Phone number
  7. Official website
  8. Address – in case of local store/service

Keeping the information of your email signature in this format will help people find the required info they need to contact you.
