Breaking the Feast or Famine Cycle: How Consistent Online Advertising Can Keep Your Business Steady

Many small businesses experience a frustrating pattern known as "feast or famine" mode—one month, they're flooded with customers, and the next, they're struggling to make sales.

This rollercoaster makes it difficult to plan, invest, or grow with confidence.

But there’s a solution: consistent online advertising can smooth out these ups and downs, keeping your business on a steady growth path.

The Feast or Famine Trap
One of the most common industries affected by feast or famine cycles is home improvement services—including landscaping, artificial turf installation, and fencing businesses. Demand surges in warmer months, but when the seasons change, leads dry up. Business owners scramble to generate sales, often slashing prices or taking on low-profit work just to stay afloat.

This cycle happens because many small businesses only advertise when they need work, rather than keeping a steady pipeline of leads coming in. They turn ads on during slow months but stop when business picks up. The result? A business that’s always either overwhelmed or desperate.

How Consistent Advertising Can Solve the Problem
Online advertising—especially using platforms like Google Search, Facebook Ads, and retargeting campaigns—can create a reliable flow of customers all year round. Here’s how:

1️⃣ Keep Leads Coming Even When You’re Busy
When you’re swamped with work, it’s tempting to pause your marketing. But this means when current projects wrap up, you’ll suddenly have no new leads. By running ads consistently, you create a steady flow of inquiries, so you never hit a dry spell.

2️⃣ Build Brand Awareness for Long-Term Trust
Many customers don’t need your services immediately, but if they keep seeing your business online, they’ll remember you when they do. 99 Ads uses AI-powered remarketing campaigns to keep your brand in front of potential customers, ensuring you’re their first choice when they’re ready to buy.

3️⃣ Take Advantage of Lower Ad Costs During Off-Peak Seasons
Ad costs fluctuate based on demand. During busy seasons, competition for ads increases, making them more expensive. But during slower months, ad costs drop—meaning you can reach more people for less money. Running ads year-round helps you take advantage of lower prices and get more leads for your budget.

4️⃣ Stay Ahead of Competitors
Businesses that only advertise occasionally fall behind those that show up consistently. If your competitors stop marketing in the slow season, but you keep running ads, you dominate the space and win more customers.
