So first of all, you need to realize if a certain type of humor fits with your brand. If your communication style is rather serious and you have to change your whole language to implement humor, you might want to reconsider it.<\/p><p>Secondly, it\u2019s important to always <b>stay relevant<\/b>. You shouldn\u2019t make jokes about something that has nothing to do with your brand or your industry.<\/p><p>In general it is always the best idea to <b>test, test, test<\/b>. Understand your audience and start with some subtle humor here and there. Are your funny emails performing better than others? Perfect! Otherwise, you might consider trying a different tactic. With A\/B testing, for example, you could try out a humorous tone versus a more serious tone (or two different types of humor).
