Emojis need to be tested and used intelligently, here are some final tips for you.
Some tips for your tests
- Don't include emojis in the subject line of an email just to enhance it to get users' attention.
- While an emoji can draw attention, it can actually cause users to see your email as less valuable and to look more negatively at it, and by association, at your organization.
- Use emojis only when they add real value by providing context or relevant emotional value.
- Even if your use of emojis is legitimate, be selective about how often you send emails containing emojis.
- Emoji subject lines may draw attention over non-emoji subject lines because of their visual qualities, but if every email in the inbox contains an emoji, there will be no benefit. So use them sparingly so you can enjoy them occasionally.
- Also, it's best not to continuously stream content that could be viewed negatively.
- Overall, emojis seem to be a double-edged sword: they can have a negative impact on user attitudes, but they can also draw attention and emphasize the visual aspects of the message (which in itself can be good or bad).
- Excessive use will negate their advantages, probably leaving only the disadvantages.
