Gen Zers understand the importance of injecting personality, wit, and humor into their digital exchanges.

Consider the ever-growing popularity of GIFs, emojis, and memes among the younger generations. They’re not just using these life-like images to make mundane conversations more interesting—they’re using them to make a powerful statement about what they really think and feel.

When it comes to communication, Generation Z has a style all their own. And when it comes to digital communication, particularly in the business world, Gen Z is changing the rules of the game. Millennials may have created the digital language, but Gen Z is perfecting it and transforming it into a new art form. Rather than merely sending an email to get their point across.

In an age where electronic communication rules our lives, it’s important to make sure your emails stand out. Gen Z is the generation of digital natives, so it’s essential for them to know how to write emails that will get their point across quickly and effectively.

As this generation of tech-savvy young people continue to enter the workforce, it’s important to know how to effectively write emails that will grab the attention of your recipient.

The challenge when writing an email is to make sure that it is clear, concise and worth reading. We all know how easy it is to get lost in a sea of emails every day, so make sure your emails stand out from the crowd. Instead of copying and pasting a template, consider adding some personal touches to your emails that make them unique.

That could include:

• Writing in a conversational style that is easy to read.
• Providing clear instructions when asking for something.
• Choosing the right subject line that is relevant and interesting.
• Incorporating emojis and GIFs where appropriate.
• Being precise and to the point with your message.
• Adding visual elements like images and videos to add interest.
• Being friendly and courteous.

For example: Slack, a popular collaboration platform, encourages users to lighten up their conversations with emojis and gifs. In a study conducted by Slack in collaboration with Duolingo, 67% of respondents reported feeling a stronger connection when the recipient of their message understands the emoji they used.

Ellery Roberts, a digital marketing manager for an e-commerce website, has seen firsthand the power of a well-crafted email. “I always try to stand out by making use of attention-grabbing subject lines, and I always try to keep my emails short, sweet, and to the point. I also like to inject some wit and humor into my emails, which helps to engage the reader.”

At the end of the day, it’s important to remember that emails are a professional form of communication. Make sure your emails remain professional while also being creative and interesting. Gen-Z are digital natives and they know how to keep things fresh, so show them you can too.

With their innovative use of storytelling, creativity, and humor, they’re proving that emails don’t have to be boring nor impersonal. They’re transforming them from a necessity to an art form. So if you’re in need of some digital inspiration, take a few lessons from Gen Z and liven up your emails today!
