Check out these ten tips from Content Marketing Institute to help you write high-performing subject lines and pique the interest of your audience.

Emojis are especially popular among the younger generation, such as the Gen-Zers. Learn more about leveraging emojis in your marketing, customer service, and social media here.

iPhone Eye Exam
Warby Parker’s new app, called Virtual Vision Test, may save you a trip to the optometrist, time, and money. The app only requires ten feet of space, good lighting, and an iPhone. Once your test finishes, your results get sent to a doctor who determines whether you need to get an in-person exam or renew your prescription.
