One thing I learned from my most recent book signing (other than how to talk and write at the same time), is the importance of dating a signature. I hadn't realized this before, but apparently in ARCs and hardbacks collectors prefer if an author writes in the date in addition to providing their signature and message. For hardcore collectors, this adds a layer of authenticity to the book. So I've been doing this myself, and attendees at my book signings have been appreciative of it.
