Contract Question

The Sending of the Contract

[victoryrun]

With so much of my business done via email and/or phone, I'm curious about what is either the "proper" way, or at least the more popular way, to send the contract? Do you:
1. Print it out, sign your part of it, and mail it off (after getting a mailing address from the client)?
2. Email an electronic version? (PDF or DOC or whatever). And if you go this route, how do you go about signing your part? Take an electronic snapshot of your signature and affix it to the file? Leave it UNSIGNED?
Is there anything else pertinant to the sending of the contract?

Thanks much,

I've done it different ways. I've sent it with my signature and asked the client to sign and return it to me. I've also e-mailed a PDF, had the client print, sign and return it, then mailed him back a copy with my signature.

You can also have the client return it by fax. I just prefer to have an original hard copy.
