There’s no reason for this. They like and want contact. Invoking (as opposed to evoking) has a purpose to bring the entities energetic aspects you to enhance your own energy and improve your life. Which is what they want. Imo.
So go ahead and do what you want, worry less about what people who aren’t you and have no idea how your energy works think.

thank you, i did notice phenomenal progress as far as seeing spirits better and having them appear in my dreams when i was doing invocations almost daily, not as much so as just doing offerings

Here’s some of what I do, as someone who lives alongside demons pretty religiously/with my home life (again, this is just my experience of what I do):
-Prayers of admiration/giving thanks, but don’t go OCD doing a bunch over and over, it’s quality (of the heart) over quantity and is wasted breath otherwise. Thank them for the good times you have, the lessons you learn. You can get really personal with it; share your joy with the demons you work with. They can just be small ‘Thank you, Satan’s to more grander things, like poems, art, etc. It doesn’t have to be perfect, it’s the act of creation and time spent with them that matters, and reserving an object/memory/an action/anything of your creation in their name is perfect.
-Having an altar/space reserved for them to place offerings or sit with, for demons in general or a specific one (I have 5 altars, a main one, and 4 very small ones for specific demons in areas of the house), letting them have a place in your home for longer/greater relationships (I work here and there with random demons, but a few will always be by my side for a lot longer, so they get their own spaces). You can sit there for your prayers, give offerings, meditate, do your workings, but also sometimes I just sit with the altar and light an incense and read or eat a special meal I made.
-LOTS of reading– knowledge is important, understanding other views is important, challenging your own views and ideas. Especially taking time to read about demons, their paths through history and how the movement of human cultures can affect the shaping of gods & other beings through different practices over the centuries. It has helped me understand certain demons better, work with them better, and have a much deeper, more complex relationship with magick and people as a whole.
-Take care of myself, and still lead my life by common sense and logic; magick to me is wonderful, but lives to accentuate my very in my eyes, Satan is for the individual and personal power, and taking care of yourself and making sure that you’re comfortable, healthy in mind and body, and living happily in your practice are very important, and that you don’t lose your common senses to one side or the other completely.
Offerings are wonderful and will always be accepted, but doing evocations/summonings all the time, you have to imagine: it’s like dialing your friend’s phone number every day, loosely. Some hours they’re more likely to be around, some hours they aren’t, but when you’re calling and calling and calling, especially with nothing to talk about, they might not give you back the same energy you’re putting out. They’re still a bit more like people than other shit–you make the relationship ship slowly, it takes time. I’ve been doing this for 4 years so far and I still only have a veeerrry small circle of demons I feel close with that are happy to work with me 
hope this works, or some of this speaks to you!

I would say basics:
- grounding
- stillness meditation
- shields
- cleansing
and then pick a spirit you want to connect with and meditate with his energy/sigil.

try to do something that they might like or even that just reminds you a bit of them . so in a way , really just doing little offerings …
personally , all i usually do is just read a bit about them .
it especially really helps me , because to me , feeling drawn to them always manifests through becoming a special interest of mine of a very similar kind to the ones i had in the past . maybe it can also work for you …
another thing that really helps me is watching or listening to something that they might like or that reminds me of them as an offering . while keeping their sigil around . even if i don’t have anything to ask from them . you can even just use their sigil by sleeping on it or keeping it on something that you always carry with you , so you can always have it with you .
so in a way , a little piece of them can always be with you , even if you didn’t fully invocate or evocate them .
because with these , you can at least get their attention …
meditate to their enn … meditate to their sigil …
or even just think of them .

just doing little things that they might like or that just remind you of them them in general .
meditating with them … playing a song or watching something as an offering … sleeping on their sigil … carrying it around with you …
and i think that invocating or evocating them is only necessary occasionally .
because by doing these , it is already enough to get their attention . even if you don’t have anything to ask from them .
so yeah , mostly just making little offerings .
