What happens when a business's marketing strategy works better than its actual operations?

A successful campaign can bring in more orders than a business can handle, especially when its inventory, staff, and customer support aren't ready for the sudden increase in demand. This can quickly turn a good marketing result into a frustrating experience for customers. Should marketing teams coordinate more closely with the people handling daily operations before launching campaigns that could attract a lot of orders?

Marketing shouldn't operate separately from the rest of the business because bringing in more customers is only part of the job. Before launching a campaign, the team should make sure there is enough inventory, staff, and support to handle the expected demand. Otherwise, customers might end up waiting too long or receiving a service that doesn't match what the advertisement promised. A successful campaign should benefit the business without putting unnecessary pressure on the people responsible for fulfilling those orders.
