New facilities are opening every month, and existing tennis clubs are converting courts to meet demand. But most facility operators are running their marketing the same way they did ten years ago: a Facebook page, maybe a website, and a lot of hoping for the best. If you run a pickleball facility (or a tennis club adding pickleball), here's the marketing setup that actually drives court bookings, memberships, and program sign-ups. ## 1\. A Website That Converts (Not Just Exists) Your website isn't a brochure. It's a booking engine. Every page should make it dead simple for someone to take the next step, whether that's signing up for a membership, registering for a clinic, or booking a court. What your site needs: - A clear statement of what your facility offers and where it is (above the fold, no scrolling) - Online booking or registration, not "call us" or "email for info" - A mobile-friendly design (most people will find you on their phone) - Court photos and facility images that look current ## 2\. Google Business Profile (Non-Negotiable) When someone in your area searches "pickleball near me," Google shows a map with three results. Your goal is to be one of them. That means a fully built-out Google Business Profile: accurate hours, photos updated monthly, services listed, and a steady stream of reviews. This is the highest-ROI marketing activity for any local facility. It costs nothing and drives direct bookings. ## 3\. Email and SMS for Retention Getting new members is expensive. Keeping current ones is cheap. An email list lets you stay in front of your existing community without relying on social media algorithms. Use it for: - Weekly court schedules and open play times - New program announcements - Event promotion (tournaments, socials, round robins) - Re-engagement when members haven't booked in a few weeks Newsletter ### Get the facility growth playbook in your inbox. Short, useful notes on filling courts, growing programs, and converting more leads. No fluff. First name Last name Email addressSubscribe One short email a week. Unsubscribe anytime. SMS works even better for time-sensitive stuff, like "Rain cancelled outdoor courts, indoor availability at 3pm," but email is the backbone. ## 4\. Social Media (Pick Two and Be Consistent) You don't need to be on every platform. Pick two that make sense for your audience and post consistently. For most pickleball facilities, that's Instagram and Facebook. Instagram for short video clips, court action, and event highlights. Facebook for community building, event pages, and reaching the 40+ demographic that makes up a huge share of pickleball players. Post 3-4 times per week. Mix it up: action shots, member spotlights, schedule reminders, behind-the-scenes clips. Don't overthink it. A phone video of a packed open play session does more than a polished graphic that took three hours. ## 5\. Paid Ads (When You're Ready to Scale) Once your organic presence is solid, with a good website, strong GBP, active social, and an email list growing, paid ads can pour gas on the fire. Run local campaigns targeting a 10-15 mile radius with specific offers: "First month of membership free" or "Register for our beginner clinic." Facebook and Instagram ads work well for facilities. You can target by location, age, and interests. Google Ads capture people who are actively searching. Start small, measure what works, and scale from there. ## What Most Facilities Get Wrong They try to do everything at once and do all of it poorly. A half-built website, a GBP with no photos, a social account that hasn't posted in three weeks, and an ad campaign with no landing page. Pick the first two items on this list. Get them right. Then add the next one. A focused, consistent presence beats a scattered one every time. If you want help building this out for your facility, that's exactly what TopSpin Digital does.
