Why is emoji so popular?

      You’ve heard the expression “A picture is worth a thousand words”?  These little digital images convey an emotion or a message in a single picture.   These images add personality to the message.  In our quick text generation a single image is easier to send than a typed message.

     But can it be more than that?  Psychological studies show that we react to Emoji images as we react to human faces.  When I saw :-) for the first time my brain worked out the similarity to the human face and then knew it’s meaning.  The images also amplify the message.  A happy emoticon makes a message happier.
   
     More than anything, Emojis are fun.  So fun that they are appearing in tattoos and will soon be coming to the movie theater near you.

     Don’t let the trend pass you and your customers by!  There are so many trendy Emoji products out there – keychains, backpacks, lunch boxes, backpack pins, bows, socks, pillows and the list goes on.  Most of all, don’t miss Wee Ones’ products that are done with style!
