So here's the deal. First of all we wanted to see if we could come up with a system of crowdsource funding to help others that doesn't interfere with normal correspondence. Therefore the emojis. In blue typeface below are the ones specific to Arts Rescue Mission. So if you see something in the subject line it's an emoji and it's coming from us or someone from our e-list you might want to take a look. If not, we all have everyday business to do and usual communications, and it's not always a good time to get distracted. No problem.

So please feel free to chip in and borrow an emoji if you need to do some crowdfunding. It's considerate to the rest of your list and ours Thanks! We’re here to help worthwhile campaigns get seen if you want to start one.

We know this is a lot to take in. It's something brand new and requires more explanation in our next email. Thanks for dropping in and we would love to hear from you with any suggestions!

INSTRUCTIONS: How to Add Emojis to Subject Lines (Gmail, Outlook, Safari) General Rules:
To add an emoji to your subject line, you can simply copy and paste it into the subject line field just like text. Emojis are Unicode characters, so most modern email clients fully support them.
________________________________________
✅ 1. Gmail (Web & App)
How to Add an Emoji to a Subject Line:
1. Compose a new email.
2. In the Subject line, paste your emoji at the beginning (or wherever you want it).
o Example: 📚 Help Us Fund the Next Great Story
3. Emojis will appear normally in inbox previews.
Tips:
• Works on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and the Gmail app.
• Avoid stacking too many emojis—they can get clipped on mobile.
________________________________________
✅ 2. Outlook (Desktop & Web)
Outlook Desktop (Windows/Mac):
1. Compose a new message.
2. Click into the Subject line.
3. On Windows, use the emoji keyboard shortcut:
o Windows Key + . (period)
4. On Mac, use:
o Control + Command + Space to bring up the emoji picker.
5. Select your emoji, then continue typing.
Outlook Web:
1. Paste your emoji directly into the subject line from a reliable emoji source (like emojipedia.org).
2. Subject line example: 🖼️ A Work of Art Is Fading—You Can Help
Tips:
• Not all older versions of Outlook render emojis in subject lines properly. Test if your audience skews corporate.
• Emojis work best when kept to one or two max.
________________________________________
✅ 3. Safari / Web-Based Email Builders (Mailchimp, Zeffy, etc.)
To Add an Emoji:
1. Use your Mac’s emoji picker: Control + Command + Space.
2. Or, copy-paste from a source like emojipedia.org.
3. Paste it at the beginning of the subject line field in your campaign builder.
o Example: 🗳️ Your Voice Decides Who We Help Next

Tips:
• Always preview the campaign on desktop and mobile to ensure it renders well.
• Emojis look slightly different on Apple vs. Android vs. Windows, but will display correctly.

• Avoid emojis that are overly detailed or unclear in small sizes.

⚠️ Best Practices for Using Emojis in Subject Lines
✅ Do ❌ Avoid
Use 1–2 emojis per subject line Overstuffing (3+ emojis)
Match the emoji to the tone Using random or unrelated emojis
Test across devices Assuming all recipients see the same style
Place emoji first for visibility Burying it mid-line where it gets cut off

Use a Badge. Spread the Signal.
These badges are made to be borrowed. If you’re running a crowdsourced campaign for the Performing, Visual, or Literary Arts, feel free to use one that fits — whether it’s for medical needs, housing, or art supplies. You don’t need to ask first. Just pick the one that works for you, and let us know so we can cheer you on. If you don’t see the right badge, we’ll help you make one.

We’re here to help worthwhile campaigns get seen.
