Maybe I’m new to this thing the kids are doing, but it seems like emojis are all the craze these days. They’re popping up in texts, social media and now…email.
Adding emoji-style icons, sometimes called glyphs, to your subject lines can increase your open rate and engagement (plus it makes you look hip).
Take a look at my inbox below. Which subject line stands out to you?
There are a few options for making this work using what’s called Unicode Symbols, but it’s not bullet-proof. Not all email clients support this, so be careful and selective in how you use these.
Also, be aware that you don’t want to overdue it or you could run the risk of fatiguing your email list with these types of subject lines.
