“We Don’t Need Marketing—We’re Too Busy!”
Why “Too Busy” Is Exactly When You Should Double Down
Recently we’ve heard a familiar line from several business owners: “We don’t need to do any marketing—we’re already slammed.”
Some even add, “We can’t take on new clients right now.”
On the surface, that sounds like a great problem to have—and in many ways, it is. But here’s the twist: Being too busy is exactly when you should be thinking about marketing the most.
Let’s dig into why that mindset shift can be a game-changer for your business.
🚨 Busy Means You’re in Demand (And That’s Marketing Gold)
When your calendar is full, it’s proof: You’re doing something people want. That’s not just a sign of success—it’s a powerful marketing message.
Scarcity and demand are incredibly persuasive. When people see that others are lining up to work with you, your perceived value goes up. No one wants to be the only person at the party—but they also don’t want to miss out on the hottest ticket in town.
So don’t downplay your success—lean into it.
Try messaging like:
• “We’re currently booking projects three months out.”
• “We’re working with fantastic clients right now—let’s get you on the schedule.”
• “High demand means limited availability—secure your spot today.”
This kind of honest communication builds trust and urgency.
📆 You Can’t Market Retroactively
Let’s be blunt: You can’t go back in time to market how busy you were.
Saying “we were slammed last quarter” doesn’t hit the same when things slow down.
Marketing is about momentum, and you can only market today’s success—today.
If your business is buzzing, now is the time to showcase it.
🏃 The Marketing Sprint vs. The Marketing Marathon
We previously wrote a blog post on this exact subject. Some marketing efforts pay off quickly (ads, promos, outreach). But the most valuable strategies—like content, brand building, and customer relationships—are long games.
You’re planting seeds today so that three or six months from now, your audience knows who you are, what you do, and why they should trust you.
If you wait until the slow season to start marketing, you’re already playing catch-up.
💰 When Business Is Good, Budgets Are Healthier
This is a huge one. When you're busy, you’ve got cash flow. That’s the perfect time to invest in future marketing, not pull back on it. Ironically, many companies do the opposite: They cut marketing when business is strong, and panic-spend when leads dry up.
Flip that.
Use today’s strong revenue to build tomorrow’s opportunities.
