Re: Adding Emoticons to Subject Line
Hi Sanford Whiteman, this is a great blog post. I really like the Simple Q encoder you embedded and the reminder to test every combination of browser + mail client + provider + emoji character.

Re: Adding Emoticons to Subject Line
This is fantastic! Is it too late to send a blast with a Christmas tree in the subject line now?

Re: Adding Emoticons to Subject Line
Of course not! Ha "Christmas is over, back to work we go! *tree *sad face"

Re: Adding Emoticons to Subject Line
Sure, just keep it witty!
Maybe even "We just figured out how to use emojis, so..."

Re: Adding Emoticons to Subject Line
Hi Sanford,
I went to the site you provided but couldn't find the Q code emoji converter. Is it somewhere else?
Thanks,
Bonnie

So, it's possible, but Marketo does not make this easy. Marketo Consultant @IFG

Something to add to your ever growing list of product enhancements. It shouldn't require special coding to add these...

Re: Adding Emoticons to Subject Line
Wouldn't an emoticon in the subject line give the email more potential for going into the SPAM or trash folder? I wouldn't recommend emoticons in a subject line.

No evidence whatsoever that this is true. Emojis are used by the world's biggest brands.

Re: Adding Emoticons to Subject Line
Of course. But I don't want to predict anyone's site-specific experience. What is clear is that they don't reduce open rates.

Maybe trying AB Testing is a good way to see if it works or not.

Re: Adding Emoticons to Subject Line
Industry specific successes with emojis. We don't see any decrease in performance with them, but we also don't have a significant increase in opens due to emojis

Re: Adding Emoticons to Subject Line
That's not actually how it's done. Only a limited number of emojis work via direct copy-paste. You should read my (earlier, more complete) blog post linked above.

Re: Adding Emoticons to Subject Line
Hello Sanford,
Well, I dit it... Actually, I was so enthusiastic when I read it few weeks ago. I tested it and everything was fine ! But some times after, It was not working anymore... I made other tests and I found that you can copy paste emojis from unicode 5.2 and previous. Sometimes they are not well displayed by Marketo, but it manages them.
