Even though it has a broad range of services, the signature function of Gmail is rarely used even by its biggest fans. A decently created Gmail signature helps you to stand unique in the recipient inbox and provides authenticity by minimising the chance of landing your mail in a spam folder.

Let’s find out the ways.
