Emojis in Email Marketing - Adding Fun to Your Campaigns
Using emojis in your email marketing campaigns is an easy way to add some fun and make your emails more engaging for your subscribers. However, it is important to know how to use emojis well and when it’s appropriate to do so.
Emojis are a great way to create a sense of urgency in your subject lines. If you have a sale coming up, a limited time offer, or something similar, an emoji in your subject line can help draw attention and increase open rates. In addition to this, emojis can also be used in subject lines and preview text to convey a message that isn’t possible with words alone. For example, a company may include an emoji of a shopper holding a shopping bag to show that their online store is running out of stock.
Another important thing to consider when using emojis in your subject line is whether or not they are relevant to the topic at hand. If you are a professional service provider, for instance, it probably wouldn’t be a good idea to pepper your subject lines with emojis that aren’t related to your field. On the other hand, if your audience is mostly young and millennials, emojis can add a level of playfulness that can enhance the lighthearted tone of your brand.
Knowing your audience is also key when deciding to use emojis in your subject line. As we mentioned earlier, younger audiences tend to respond better to emojis than older audiences. It’s also worth checking if your audience has any specific reactions to certain emojis – for example, the fist bump emoji might have a negative connotation for some older audiences.
You can also play around with emojis to see how they perform in different subject lines. For example, a retailer might experiment with an emoji-only subject line to see what kind of engagement they get. You can then take the results from this test and apply it to your regular email campaigns.
If you’re unsure of what emojis to use in your subject lines, you can find free ones online or use an app to check how they will be interpreted. Generally speaking, popular options like the smiley face or the crying laughing emoji won’t have any double meanings and will be understood by your audience.
As with any new type of marketing, you should be sure to test out a few different ways of using emojis in your subject lines before settling on one. A/B testing is the best way to get a clear picture of what works and what doesn’t for your audience.
You can also try hanging out on social media and observing how your audience uses emojis in real-life conversations to get a feel for their preferences. By taking the time to do this, you can ensure that your emoji-based subject line is effective and delivers the results you want.
