Your email signature is valuable real estate for marketing your business. Don’t waste it. Be sure to restate your email address, in case your message is passed on. Then that person can still contact you. Also include information on your services, phone number, and social media sites where you can be found. Make it as easy as possible for people to get in touch with you.

MilesTrac

As a business owner, I track my mileage to all the events and client meetings I go to. It’s definitely worth the little bit of effort for that (very) nice tax deduction. For the last couple years I’ve been using a notebook in my car, but it was just a little awkward, so when I got my Android phone, the first app i looked for was a mileage tracker.
