When you're running a brand through social media, it's necessary to walk a tight rope between posting enough to maintain momentum to your name and your brand, without spamming the very users you're trying to attract. To help people out with this web posting conundrum, the tech experts at eMerge Interactive have put together 'To Post or Not to Post,' a helpful infographic related to that very subject. According to eMerge's research up to 73 per cent of social media users will 'unlike' or unfollow a brand that posts too often. 54 percent will unsubscribe from [email listings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fastcontent) for the very same reason. Remember, web posting is a fine art, and when it's done right, it can be essential for putting a brand on the map.
