Source: Customer Thermometer (Emojis in Business research)
Emoji, emoticons, icons and star and smiley ratings are all around us but how much do we really know about attitudes to their use in business?
Customer Thermometer wanted to find out! So, they commissioned independent research; asking 1000 US citizens how and when they use emoji, especially in business. They got real insight into in the way they communicate with colleagues and interact with and feed back to brands.
Customer Thermometer put it all together in a full report on our findings, with some background on emoji and how they’ve become part of our everyday lives.

1) The average American uses 34.71 emojis a day
This is across all social media, messaging, emails, etc.
