What's your go-to professional email sign-off? I'm bored of 'Best regards'
I'm conducting a highly scientific poll (aka, asking on a forum): what's your go-to email sign-off? Because "Best regards" just isn't cutting it anymore. It feels so...blah. Is there anything that sounds professional but isn't completely devoid of personality? I am finding myself stuck in a rut where every email ends exactly the same. I would love to add a little flourish or pizazz without crossing any lines of professionalism. What do you all use?

Oh, I feel your pain. "Best regards" is the beige of email sign-offs. I tend to switch it up depending on the context and my relationship with the recipient. I found a fantastic article recently that really transformed how I think about how to end an email; it suggested several different styles depending on the purpose of writing. For close colleagues, I might use "Cheers" or "All the best." For slightly more formal situations, "Kind regards" or "Sincerely" can work. But yeah, ditch "Best regards" unless you're actively trying to bore someone.
