Subject lines with emojis

Adding an emoji to your subject line is a great way to make it stand out in people’s inboxes. 

When it comes to St. Patrick’s emails, the most popular emoji choices by far are the three and four leaf clovers (☘️ ?). 

In line with St. Patrick’s Day themed emails, a green heart (?) and rainbow (?) are also popular choices. To give your email an even better chance at standing out, trying using other holiday themed emojis, such as crossed fingers (?) for good luck, a top hat (?) or even the Irish flag (??).
