Adding email signature is a common method done by professionals to build their personal brands. In the internet era like today, adding an email signature has turned to become a need instead of option. Gmail, the most popular email service, actually has a built-in feature to allow you adding email signature. However, the look of resulting email signature created by the default Gmail feature is far from professional.

If you want to be serious in taking advantage of email signature to build your personal brand, it’s highly recommended to use services offered by third parties like WiseStamp.
