Yes, when campaigns have a known cost per customer; fund what already converts and scale gradually.

Digital marketing can be funded when it is measurable and the business can handle the demand it creates. The safest approach is to test channels with small budgets, then use funding to scale the ones that already show a profitable cost per customer.

Map channels by speed and cost. Paid search and paid social produce leads within days but stop when spending stops. Email marketing to an existing list is low cost and fast. Search engine optimization and content take months but keep working. Local listings and review management are inexpensive and help local businesses quickly. Each has a different role in a funded plan.
Measure before scaling. Set up conversion tracking on your website, call tracking for phone leads and unique codes or links for promotions. Run a test with a fixed budget for several weeks and calculate cost per lead, lead-to-customer rate and cost per customer. Compare cost per customer with the gross profit a customer generates in the first few months, not only over their lifetime, since funding payments start right away.
Scale what works. If a paid search campaign brings customers at $80 each and a customer produces $250 in gross profit within the first three months, scaling that campaign with funded budget is reasonable, as long as capacity and inventory keep up. Keep spending on unproven channels small and funded from profit.
Watch for diminishing returns. Costs per customer often rise as budgets increase, because the cheapest audiences are reached first. Increase budgets in steps and re-measure.
MFE considers credit from 500 and can fund marketing pushes sized to a tested return.
Owned channels deserve a share of the budget even when funding paid campaigns. Each paid campaign can be designed to grow an email or SMS list, so future promotions reach those customers at very low cost. Over time, that lowers the blended cost per customer and reduces dependence on borrowing for marketing.
