Today, there are about 3,633 emojis you can choose from. That’s one for almost every emotion and circumstance.

Using emojis in marketing is among the things that divide marketers the most.

They frequently appear in social media campaigns. Yet, some marketers oppose using them in marketing copy, deeming emojis too informal.

At the same time, emoji usage is acceptable among many marketers as long as they’re not overused.

Emojis are helpful, but we can’t pretend they fit into every marketing effort because they don’t.

In the case of SMS marketing messages

People are used to seeing emojis in text messages.

About 60% of consumers believe SMS messaging is the most efficient type of communication.
