Ramp Up & List Building: Creating Demand Before Open Cart
If your launches feel like pushing a boulder uphill during open cart week… you're not imagining it.
In this episode of the Deeply Rooted Business Podcast, we’re tackling one of the most common mistakes entrepreneurs make: starting too late.
Because when you wait until the cart opens to generate interest?
You’re already behind.
The Power of the Pre-Launch Period
The truth is, your launch starts long before your cart opens.
What happens in the ramp-up phase—the 30, 60, even 90 days before you sell—makes the biggest impact on your conversion rates, your energy, and your overall results.
In this episode, we break down:
How to grow a list that’s aligned (not just big)
Why cold traffic isn’t your biggest problem—lukewarm leads are
Where to focus your visibility efforts beyond just Instagram
How to turn subscribers into excited, ready-to-buy buyers
Ways to do more with less using strategic repurposing

Why “List Building” Alone Isn’t Enough
A lot of business owners hear “grow your email list” and start chasing numbers. But without strategy, all you're doing is collecting names—not leads.
This episode will help you:
✅ Grow with intention, not just volume
✅ Build a pre-sell ecosystem that educates and nurtures
✅ Ensure your launch list is warm and aligned, not just “big enough”
Demand Starts Before the Sale
Too many launches fail—not because the offer isn’t great—but because there’s no demand before the offer ever goes live.
We talk about how to use your list as a demand-building engine, not just a delivery system for your sales page. Because when the right people land on your list early, your open cart period becomes a natural next step, not a scramble for attention.
