I've been told time and time again to insert that at the end of my e-mails (because I'm a green designer), and I just won't. Why? It just doesn't make sense - who prints every e-mail they receive? Out of 100 e-mails that I get daily, I'm lucky if I print 2 - because they don't have information that I need to see on paper. I like the quick tips idea, but personally, I think it's a better idea to keep signatures minimal. People are busy, and getting ridiculous amounts of e-mail these days, so to me, it's a sign of respect to keep my signature to name, company name and contact information, and one line about why they should visit my website and sign up for the newsletter. I give enough eco-tips in the body of my e-mails anyway. HAH! I’ve been told time and time again to insert that at the end of my e-mails (because I’m a green designer), and I just won’t. Why?
