I recently started using the + symbol method in GMail to set up multiple accounts relating to my personal email address (social , personal , work , etc), and now I want to use the same method for my business.
But, I'm wondering how to format my emails properly as I have some sub-divisions under my parent business. Is it possible to use multiple + symbols, or is it best to use a . or a -?
I'll give an example:
business@gmail.com // Main Business Email
business+subdivision@gmail.com // Sub Division Email
business+subdivision+contact@gmail.com
business+subdivision-contact@gmail.com
business+subdivision.contact@gmail.com
Any recommendations as to which can, or should be used?

You only get one '+' per email address, but you're free to use '-' or '.' (or both) after the plus. In your case, all the these would be valid:
...and so on. Basically the plus has to come immediately after the primary address and anything that follows (except another plus) is ignored.
