Start marketing weeks before opening: set up your accounts and Google Business Profile, build an interest list through a sign-up page or WhatsApp, share the preparation, and set a clear opening offer. Opening day works better when your audience knows the date in advance.

Frequently asked questions
01Should I run ads before opening?
Simple ads to build the interest list help; the bigger spend comes close to opening.
02How do I know the launch worked?
