On average, a single person receives 121 emails per day.*
Think about your inbox for a second. How many of your emails are left unread and unanswered each day? Why do you respond to some emails and not to others?
At about.me we want to help you get smarter about the emails you send. Your emails should always get clicked on and should inspire people to check out your page.
Whether you’re introducing two friends, scheduling an informal meetup or coffee date, promoting your music, or sending a weekly newsletter, you want the person you’re writing to remember you. This can be a challenge when you don’t have a ton of space to work with. An email signature, though, makes great use of a valuable piece of digital real estate that’s 100% yours.
