Add a personalized signature to Gmail

Add a personal signature in Gmail – makes it easy for the recipient to know who sent the email, gives them a point of reference, and makes contact information readily available. An electronic business card!

Scroll down to Signature under the General tab. Select Create new to create a new signature – there can be multiple created, and can be easily interchanged.

Once the signature name is created: click on the name (not the edit pencil – that will edit the signature name) – a text box opens. Format text using the available toolbar. Select which signature, if any, should go with which types of emails.

Many professional signatures include:

  • Formal name
  • Preferred pronouns
  • Title
  • Phone number
  • Email address
  • Web site
  • Business Hours
