Campaign Concept

This World Emoji Day, reward your most engaged shoppers with surprise emoji-based discounts! Swym will identify your top wishlisting customers and their favorite items. Based on their wishlist activity, you can send tailored discounts tied to fun emojis — turning data into delight!

Merchants can create segments (e.g., top 10%, 11–25%) based on wishlist engagement. Each segment receives an email containing an emoji-themed discount. For example, the top 10% receive a 🎉 emoji offering 20% off their wishlisted items. The next segment could get a 😊 emoji offering 15% off, and so on.

Theme: “Emoji = Exclusive Savings”
Hook: Wishlist more, earn more — one emoji at a time!

Industries Best Suited For

Fashion & Apparel

Emojis are perfect for tapping into the playful and emotional side of fashion. Rewarding wishlisters with personalized emoji-based discounts helps engage loyal customers while encouraging them to finalize their purchases. This campaign can showcase the most-wishlisted items and use fun emojis like 🎉 and 😊 to match each shopper's preference, leading to higher conversion rates and repeat purchases.

Beauty & Skincare

Beauty products are all about personal preferences, and emojis add a personal touch to reward the top wishlisters. Discounts tied to favorite skincare products or cosmetic must-haves feel like a fun, personalized experience for beauty enthusiasts. The campaign can increase conversions by targeting high-intent customers with tailored emoji-themed deals, ensuring that your top customers feel recognized and rewarded for their loyalty.

Home & Decor

Home decor shoppers are often looking for the perfect items for their homes, and wishlists are a natural tool for identifying high-intent customers. With emoji-themed discounts, you can encourage wishlist-to-cart conversions for top items, making it easier for shoppers to take action on their desires. This creates a playful, rewarding experience while motivating customers to purchase home essentials they’ve been eyeing.

Health & Wellness

Health and wellness products often require careful consideration before purchasing, making personalized rewards even more impactful. By using emojis to offer discounts on highly-wishlisted fitness equipment, supplements, or wellness gadgets, this campaign can drive conversions and help shoppers make informed purchase decisions. The data-driven personalization helps to turn wishlisted health items into immediate purchases.

Gifting & Lifestyle

Emojis work wonders in the gifting and lifestyle industries, where emotions are a key driver of purchases. Whether it’s a special gift for a loved one or a meaningful lifestyle product, rewarding shoppers with emoji-themed discounts creates a fun and personal shopping experience. The campaign taps into the emotional aspect of gifting, encouraging shoppers to wishlist and complete their purchases while feeling excited about the exclusive rewards.

Hashtag Suggestions:

Make the campaign more discoverable by using catchy and campaign-specific hashtags such as: #EmojiRewards: Encourages users to share their emoji discounts and create a buzz around the rewards. #WishlistWins: A playful hashtag to celebrate customers who earn discounts by wishlisting. #WorldEmojiDayDeals: Promotes the campaign across social media platforms, creating a unified message for the event.

UGC Callout:

Encourage user-generated content by asking followers to show off their emoji discounts on social media. You can say something like: “Show off your emoji discount!
