Do social media influence anything?
Practically everything, I’d say!
What subject isn’t affected by what we share on our blogs, Facebook, YouTube, Google+, LinkedIn, Twitter, and all the rest.
I can’t think of any. The social media influence is everywhere I look.
How about wedding and party music?
Sure! Big time.
Maybe you’re involved with a wedding or a party. Let me describe one social media influence that could help with planning your own wedding or party music.
But first, how do I know this?
Practical experience.
Nearly every day, I help people plan the music for their celebrations, and later my band entertains their guests at the festivities.
For example, in the photo above we’re creating a soft mood at a benefit cocktail party for The Service League of San Mateo. We’re in the sitting room at Ralston Hall, a lovely old mansion in Belmont. Thanks to my friend Scott Buschman for the photo.
At most special events, the host selects a few songs she wants us to be sure to include. Maybe the bride and groom’s First Dance. Or a sentimental favorite at a birthday or anniversary party. Or the company’s “theme” song.
How does social media influence these selections? Here’s one way: Searching for them.
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and all the rest. They’re great places for searching practically anything.
I often help people search on social media for the perfect songs according to title, theme, subject, style, era, composer, or recording artist.
So here’s a tip: Let social media influence planning your wedding or party music: In addition to the most obvious internet tools (search engines, iTunes), you’ll find that most social media channels are excellent places to search for song ideas. Post your questions.
