I’m just going to say the quiet part out loud: if you want growth, you have to buy it. Not recklessly. Not forever. But deliberately—so the algorithms learn faster, your creative finds winners sooner, and your brand stops nibbling at the edges of opportunity.
Holding back spend feels safe. It’s not. Under-spending starves the learning phase, caps your reach, and leaves your competitors bidding over you at the exact moment your customer is ready. If you’re sitting on healthy margins, a clear offer, and product in stock, it’s time to step on the gas (intelligently).
The Case for Spending More (Now)
Auctions reward momentum. Bigger, steadier budgets stabilize delivery and lower volatility.
Learning needs volume. Most platforms need consistent conversion signals to optimize. Drips don’t teach.
Creative truth emerges at scale. Winners separate from “meh” when reach and frequency climb past your core fans.
Compounding effects. Paid reach lifts branded search, email capture, and retail sell-through. Blended efficiency is what matters.
The Bottom Line
You don’t cost-cut your way to category leadership. You invest your way there with a smart plan, disciplined ramps, and intentional creative that actually sells. If your unit economics are sound and your team is ready, this is your nudge. Spend more, on purpose. The compounding starts the day you decide to.
