An email signature comprises a few lines of text placed at the bottom of all outgoing mail. It can contain your name, website, company, phone number, and even a short elevator pitch. You can use this to share essential contact information and advertise both yourself and your business in a condensed form.
In Gmail, setting up a signature for your emails is simple.
