How Much Is Too Much (Social Media)?

Amanda Cey | September 25, 2009

Alright, I know what you’re thinking? How many more times are you going to post your stupid events to Facebook and Twitter? Then blog about it? Then post to your Facebook and Twitter telling us that you’ve blogged about your event? Then Facebook and Twitter about what people said in your blog?? Wash, rinse, repeat! ;)

I am admittedly super annoyed when I get multiple requests to parties. I actually had to shut off my Facebook inbox from forwarding to my regular email because I can’t control how much party spam I get. Is it diluting your brand if you over invite? What’s really good if there’s always someone sending you an invite to the best party? I wanted to write to clarify my social media strategy. Maybe it needs some
improvement, so I welcome the critiques.

When I have an event to promote, I post messages from my primary Amanda Cey account, and then I post to my ABCey Events Company Fan page, and then I may even invite you to my event. Some of you are on Facebook ALL day, so you may see some of my posts once or twice, or even three times.

Others aren’t on Facebook all day or have a larger network of friends, so they may only see my posts once or even not at all. It’s also true that the larger the networks you have, the less frequent you will receive messages. Basically, I want you to know what I’m doing…I have a business and I want to expand my online networks and visibility, especially when I am being compensated by corporations to do so.

It could be perceived as annoying to some who do witness my pre-event, during event, and post-event posts, but in my defense, I am harnessing the strength of social media. ABCey Events has been hired recently to promote private events and companies via social media, so it’s been very exciting to do something that I would have naturally
already done. Although, maybe now I’m doing it just a little bit more!

I would also like to apologize for those who have received multiple requests to my group or fan page. We’ve got a good system down now and I assure you that if you’ve been invited once, and you decline…you won’t be asked again to join.

Thank you to all that have contributed in the past and given feedback. I hope I can continue to provide interesting topics for conversation and debate. I learn from many of your posts as well and love how much I’ve learned this year from my online community…

Till’ next time!
