How to use emojis in different marketing materials and channels?

Emojis can be used in several places in marketing materials and are a part of somewhat every marketing channel. You need to decide whether you want to go ahead with emojis in marketing or not. Understand your audience first before making emojis a part of your marketing strategy.

Here are the ways of using emojis in different marketing materials and channels;

Emojis on Social Media Channels

Emojis are everywhere on social media platforms. People are using Emojis for commenting, chatting, and expressing themselves, even social media platforms themselves are promoting emojis.

Every social media channel has provided a particular set of its own Emojis for consumers to interact with the platform.

Let’s have a look at some of the most popular social media platforms and the Emojis they’ve provided for their users:

  • Emojis on Facebook: In the starting, Facebook just provided the like button to its users to interact with the post. But in 2016 they incorporated some other reactions in the form of emojis. The other reactions are; Love, Cute, Haha, Yay, Wow, Sad, and Anger.
  • Emojis on LinkedIn: Same as Facebook, LinkedIn has also provided a certain set of reactions as emojis. The emojis are; Like, Celebrate, Pouring love, Haha, Love, Insightful, and Curious.
  • Emojis on Instagram: Instagram is the most suitable for Emojis. You wouldn’t find so many options for sharing your opinion on a post just by pressing the button. But you’d find so many emojis in the bio of the profiles, captions of the posts, Stories, and reels. The comment section of posts on Instagram is completely filled with emojis.

Along with the aforementioned platforms, there’re many other platforms such as Twitter, Pinterest, and WhatsApp. All the platforms are filled with different types of emojis. Emoji marketing is the best way for approaching Twitter because an emoji can save you a lot of words, and you don’t need to worry about the character limits on tweets in conveying an impactful message.

Emojis in Email Marketing

Emojis are being used in Email Marketing, but they might look different on different browsers and can end up ruining your brand reputation. It’s safe if you test the emojis on different browsers which you’re going to use in email marketing.

One thing more, don’t overuse emojis and don’t use them to replace the texts otherwise they can be lost in translation or can end up in the junk folders because of filters.

Proper placement of emojis in subject lines can increase opening rates, click-through rates, response rates, and engagement rates exponentially.

Emojis on Websites and Blogs

Emojis on Websites and Blogs should be used carefully. It depends on your brand voice if emojis would be a good option for you or not. If your brand voice doesn’t support emojis, then don’t use them. Because people resist the changes and if it’s not aligned to your brand voice then it’s disastrous.

It’s not that brands are not using them on their websites and blogging platforms, they are but with a proper strategy and precautions. Most brands prefer to use emojis on landing pages, and blog posts.

Emojis in Paid Advertising

Emojis in paid advertising can give your results an extra boost. It’s not just in theory but has been proven by many marketing researchers. One of the famous companies named Adespresso performed A/B testing on two ad copies; one with emoji and one without emoji. And you’ll be amazed to find out that ad copy with an emoji in the headline got 241% higher click-through rates (CTRs).

You can think about it yourself if you want to use emojis in your marketing or not.

But the use of emojis didn’t start just a few years back, it’s been used since the 80s as emoticons. Emoticons can be said as the ancestors of emojis. There were no smartphones in the 80s and 90s, so, people started to show emotions by combining certain keyboard characters to make emotional facial expressions.
