In this post, we&#8217;ll look at how and why we should send funny emails to our subscribers.<\/p>\n\n<!--more-->\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Humor is highly subjective.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What one person finds hilarious, another may find offensive or outdated. While some people will find a video of a guy falling off a chair hysterical, others will watch it with boredom. And more sophisticated humor, like satire or jokes that reference other topics, may not amuse everyone.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So we can say that:<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Sending funny emails from our newsletter <strong>is not a sure path to success<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You run the risk of boring or annoying your subscribers, because not everyone finds the same things funny.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that&#8217;s not the only reason.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being funny and original &#8211; not just copying jokes from a famous comedian &#8211; is really hard! Sure, we can all crack a good joke now and then. But not everyone can make other people laugh at will.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do we mean by something funny? Benefits and risks<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we say something is &#8220;funny&#8221;, we usually mean it makes people laugh or amuses them.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the context of online marketing, <strong>a &#8220;funny&#8221; email or post<\/strong> can contain jokes, puns, amusing personal anecdotes, memes, or a tone and writing style that entertains.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of using humor in online marketing<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It builds a personal connection:<\/strong> Humor can help humanize your posts and create a more personal connection with your recipients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It grabs and holds attention:<\/strong> A funny post is more likely to be read and remembered than a purely informative or formal one. Humor can make your message stand out from the crowd.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It lifts the mood:<\/strong> A good joke can brighten someone&#8217;s day. This can be especially useful if you&#8217;re sending an email about a dull or discouraging topic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It breaks the ice:<\/strong> Humor can be a great way to break the ice, especially when you&#8217;re starting a new business or professional relationship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Risks of using humor in online marketing<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Humor is subjective:<\/strong> What&#8217;s funny to one person may not be to another. If your joke doesn&#8217;t land, it can make your post look unprofessional or even offensive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Humor can be misinterpreted:<\/strong> In written communication, where nonverbal cues are missing, there&#8217;s a greater risk of humor being misunderstood.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Humor can distract from your main message:<\/strong> If your post is too funny, the recipient may forget why you were writing to them in the first place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s important to weigh these benefits and risks when using humor in your posts and publications.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always consider your audience and make sure your humor is appropriate and respectful.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And remember, if you&#8217;re ever in doubt, it&#8217;s better to err on the side of caution and avoid humor that could be misunderstood or offensive.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"356\" src=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/online-marketing.jpg\" alt=\"Why use funny emails?\" class=\"wp-image-64888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/online-marketing.jpg 630w, https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/online-marketing-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/online-marketing-110x62.jpg 110w, https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/online-marketing-60x34.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why use funny emails?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why give it a try? It&#8217;s hard and it can go wrong, so why bother?<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, that&#8217;s something you have to decide for yourself, but if you&#8217;re sure that you:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Know what kind of humor your subscribers like<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can create something genuinely funny<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are ready for a challenge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/emails-divertidos.png\" alt=\"Illustration of a smiling bearded man on an orange background\" class=\"wp-image-33622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/emails-divertidos.png 630w, https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/emails-divertidos-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/emails-divertidos-110x59.png 110w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then using humor in your sends can deliver great results, for several reasons. By <a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/blog\/2022\/09\/18\/what-is-email-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">definition, email marketing<\/a> should provide value, and that value can take many forms:<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1- Everyone likes to laugh<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A subscriber we make laugh will feel a stronger affinity for our brand. If you can get your whole list laughing (or at least a good percentage of it), you&#8217;ll have run a very valuable <a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/blog\/2023\/03\/21\/effective-email-marketing-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">email campaign<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2- Humor can give your subscribers another reason to open your funny emails<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think about it. Not everyone on your subscriber list will be interested in your next offer. But if subscribers expect to find a funny email, they&#8217;re more likely to open it. That means you&#8217;ll get better open rates. And you&#8217;ll stay top of mind.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3- Humor works really well online<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s no denying it. I don&#8217;t know about you, but my Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) feeds are full of funny videos, images and jokes that people share with me and their other friends.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Most things that go viral are things that make us <\/strong><b>laugh<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s another strong reason to send a funny email in our campaign.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4- Humor is easier to remember<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most <a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/blog\/2018\/06\/05\/creative-ad-examples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">advertisements<\/a> that use humor are better remembered. Something similar can happen in our email campaigns: if we use humor well, people may remember our offers better.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>That said<\/strong>, we want them to remember our brand or offer, not just the humorous element, so we need to make our corporate image clear.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let&#8217;s find some inspiration!<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;ve made it this far, I think you&#8217;re ready for the challenge of creating funny, entertaining emails.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Where do we start?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best thing to do is look at other campaigns that have used humor, to find some inspiration.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u25ba <\/strong>Use humorous copy (but carefully)<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first example is something of a cautionary tale. Take a look at this campaign that Marketo once wrote about.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It perfectly illustrates that what&#8217;s funny to some people is offensive to others.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The email&#8217;s subject line read <em>&#8220;Pick you up at 7?&#8221;<\/em>, and here&#8217;s what we found inside the email:<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"482\" src=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/funny-email-campaigns-1.png\" alt=\"Example of a funny email\" class=\"wp-image-33618\" title=\"Example of a funny email\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/funny-email-campaigns-1.png 630w, https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/funny-email-campaigns-1-300x230.png 300w, https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/funny-email-campaigns-1-110x84.png 110w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The copy creates humor through deliberate, exaggerated familiarity. It highlights how other B2B referral companies ask their customers for <em>&#8220;too much, too soon&#8221;<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Marketo blogger describes the campaign as<em> &#8220;awesome&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;brilliant&#8221;<\/em>. But the first comment on the post, from a copywriter named Rhonda, says <em>&#8220;I found the content arrogant, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d like to receive this kind of message.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure your email copy suits your subscribers.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u25ba <\/strong>Make a funny video for your email<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s getting easier and easier to <a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/glossary\/email-newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">include video (or a link to a video) in your emails<\/a> &#8211; and a video can feel more personal than text.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If you have a naturally good sense of humor, making a funny video may work better than writing text<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take a look at this example of a video in a follow-up email from FunnyBizz, a company that helps other businesses <em>&#8220;harness the power of humor&#8221;<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ez4aAFbzFLo?rel=0\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the video, the sender, Rachman, starts by saying it&#8217;s <em>&#8220;a follow-up email to see if the guys and gals at Close.io still need help getting results&#8221;<\/em>. Then two singers appear and start singing a song full of social media references. <em>&#8220;No need to post it on Pinterest \/ I just want to know if you&#8217;re still interested&#8221;<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may not be the funniest video in the world, but it shows creativity and a sense of humor &#8211; and that goes a long way.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u25ba <\/strong>Use funny images and drawings in your emails<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many email campaigns include a large image. It&#8217;s a good place to add some humor. Visual humor tends to be simple and easy to understand.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can use your own image, drawing or photo &#8211; although that can be expensive. The example below, from a campaign asking users to <em>&#8220;come back to Dropbox&#8221;<\/em>, shows in a fun way why it&#8217;s a good idea.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"379\" src=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/funny-email-campaigns-2.png\" alt=\"Funny email from Dropbox\" class=\"wp-image-33620\" title=\"Funny email from Dropbox\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/funny-email-campaigns-2.png 620w, https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/funny-email-campaigns-2-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/funny-email-campaigns-2-110x67.png 110w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The internet is full of funny images, <a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/glossary\/gif\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GIFs<\/a> and memes.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of them are in the public domain, many others can be used in your email campaigns under a <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/what-we-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Creative Commons license<\/a>, and others you can use by reaching an agreement with the creator. But make sure you don&#8217;t use copyrighted images without permission.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ways to use humor in your emails<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Humor can be a very effective tool for adding personality to your email communications.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some of the ways you can bring a bit of humor into your emails:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Jokes:<\/strong> A simple, lighthearted joke can be a great way to make someone laugh. Make sure the joke is appropriate for your audience and relates in some way to the content of your email.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Personal anecdotes:<\/strong> Sharing a funny personal story can make your email more memorable and help build a personal connection with the recipient. An anecdote about something funny or embarrassing that happened to you can add a human touch to your email.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Images or memes:<\/strong> Funny memes or images can be a great way to inject humor into an email. They should be relevant and appropriate for the context and the audience. Remember that a picture may be worth a thousand words, but it can also ruin your message if it&#8217;s misinterpreted!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Puns and wordplay:<\/strong> A good pun can make people laugh while highlighting the message you want to get across. Well-crafted wordplay can be clever and show that you&#8217;ve taken the time to think about your email.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tone and writing style:<\/strong> The tone of your writing can make an email funny. Some people use a very formal tone for trivial topics to create a comic effect, for example. Don&#8217;t hesitate to play with language and experiment with different writing styles to find the one that best suits your message and your audience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that although humor can be a great tool, it&#8217;s important to use it carefully so you don&#8217;t offend or confuse your recipients.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always consider your relationship with the recipient, their sense of humor and the context in which the message is received.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Above all, make sure the humor is relevant to your <a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/blog\/2017\/01\/17\/how-to-create-a-mailing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">email marketing campaign<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, something you shouldn&#8217;t forget:<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you create a funny email marketing campaign, <strong>making people laugh is not your main goal<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your goal is to get a response to what your campaign actually offers. Humor is there to help, not as an end in itself.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s why you need to make sure the humor in your <a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/blog\/2017\/01\/17\/how-to-create-a-mailing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">campaign<\/a> is relevant to your brand and to what you offer. It&#8217;s not just about telling a joke, pasting in a funny image or using a humorous tone in your copy.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure the call to action still takes center stage &#8211; however humorous the email is.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Good luck with your next campaign!
