About this kit
The line most readers look for is the practical one: when it happens, how long it takes and until when an offer runs. Timing copy is neutral on purpose, with none of the pressure of an urgency post, and a calendar or clock at the start of the line helps it stand out in a feed or an email. This kit gathers the emoji for that job. The calendar set covers dates and schedules, the clock faces show a specific time or a duration, the day-and-night set separates morning slots from evening ones, and the hours set suits opening times and closures. Always write the date and time in full words and figures next to the emoji, since a clock face is read aloud as "three o'clock" whatever time the event actually starts.
Using these emoji well
- Write the date and time in words and figures next to every clock or calendar; a clock face is read aloud as a fixed hour, whatever the real time is.
- Keep timing neutral: this is the practical line, so leave pressure to the urgency kit.
- Put hours and dates on their own line so a reader skimming the feed can find them.
