Dorie,
Personally, we are not fond of them in business communications. Neither one of us really spends time on FB.

Interesting study by researchers in the UK showed positive emojis tend to be more popular or influential on Twitter. The main gist is don't overdo it and know from the onset how your client wants to communicate . Often it's a fun way to add emotional, demonstrative context to things but not a substitute. Once an offer is accepted a smiley emoji an appropriate sign for good news but not when it's been declined. Know your emojis and know your customer!

I do not believe so. Overuse may bring the wrong kind of attention.

NO! In fact, I read something the other day that said that respondents thought that the writer who uses more than one in any given article or comment is thought to be 'immature.'
They don't bother me but, when they do use several in one post, I wonder why they don't just use their words!

Tweets with emojis (and photos or videos) have a better chance of getting Liked or RT'd.
And don't forget those birthday balloons on Twitter... I use them during my "good morning" Tweets; it gets attention.

I agree with what Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor, CRS had to share in his post. I like using them to help set the tone.
As far as bringing you more attention, it's a fact that posts on social media that include an image or video instead of just plain text get more attention. An emoticon/emoji are a type of image. So, yes, to your question!!!

Just like big words, less is more in publishing.. You can drop one or two in there for emphasis but too many looks unprofessional. Also you have to take into consideration that not everybody's on the same kind of phone and so half of them are going to look like Xs.

Dorie Dillard I've only used them a few times. Until I read Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor, CRS 's response I didn't really know they each meant something.

Haven't used any yet. The attention they bring might be negative attention.

I think they have a place to make sure the tone is set properly. Words alone sometimes can be miscontrued but a simple smiley can fix it. Bring more attention? I doubt it.

Sometimes but I think maybe that is because I use them with certain types of posts so its hard to say for certain
6,052,829
Not sure if they bring more attention, but adds to a comment. Only certain comments would be appropriate.
2,234,865
I don't think so, but there are times I like using them. It depends on the person I'm communicating with.

I don't believe in emojis in business writing. Reaction emoticons are the purview of the reader and out of my control.

I have not seen that it does, but I don't really get much business from those things. I do react now to posts, rather than just like, haha.
