Case Study: Driving Revenue Growth and Maximizing Baseball Facility Utilization

Client Challenge: A baseball training facility, specializing in preparing athletes for collegiate-level competition faced 
challenges in maximizing revenue and fully utilizing its newly expanded 5,000 sq. ft. indoor space. While the facility offered competitive club teams geared towards college-bound athletes, its reliance on private instruction limited its growth potential and left valuable resources underutilized.

Our Role: Robinson Collective was engaged to design tailored service offerings, develop strategic pricing models, and 
enhance the facility’s overall messaging and digital presence to attract a broader client base and maximize facility utilization.

Our Approach:

  1. Diversified Service Offerings:
    • Beyond Private Instruction: Recognizing that instruction alone wouldn’t maximize revenue, we introduced 
      additional services such as workshops, leagues, and group training sessions to expand the facility's appeal.
    • HitTrax and TrackMan Leagues: Leveraged advanced technologies to create structured leagues that provided an 
      engaging, competitive environment for athletes. These leagues also offered club team members additional 
      opportunities to enhance their skills in a competitive setting.
    • Designed assessment-based training programs tailored to the needs of college-bound athletes, utilizing 
      data-driven insights to optimize performance.
       
  2. Strategic Pricing Models:
    • Implemented tiered pricing for private instruction, offering flexible options such as single sessions and 
      multi-session packages to cater to a diverse range of clients.
    • Developed dynamic pricing for facility rentals, optimizing peak and off-peak usage to maximize bookings and revenue.
    • Established pricing for leagues and workshops that incentivized participation while ensuring profitability.
       
  3. Enhanced Digital Presence:
    • Messaging Development: Created clear, compelling messaging that highlighted the facility’s unique offerings, 
      including its use of advanced technologies, competitive club teams, and specialized programs for college-bound athletes.
    • Website Redesign: Worked closely with the website developer to redesign the facility’s website, ensuring it 
      effectively communicated the value of its services, showcased key offerings like HitTrax and TrackMan leagues, and improved overall usability for potential clients.

Results:

  • 80% Facility Utilization: The tailored offerings and optimized pricing strategies, along with the integration of advanced programs and leagues, resulted in consistent and high utilization of the facility’s resources throughout the week.
     
  • 60% Revenue Growth: By diversifying revenue streams and enhancing the digital presence, the facility achieved a 60% increase in revenue, driven by the success of new programs, leagues, and pricing strategies.
     
  • Improved Client Engagement: The redesigned website and improved messaging attracted new clients and strengthened the facility’s reputation as a premier destination for baseball training and collegiate preparation.

Key Insight: Through diversified revenue streams, optimized pricing models, the implementation and integration of 
advanced technology, we helped the facility maximize its potential and achieve measurable success. By introducing 
complementary programs beyond private instruction, such as HitTrax leagues and specialized workshops, we significantly enhanced customer engagement and increased recurring participation and revenue. Additionally, the redesigned website and improved messaging effectively communicated the facility’s offerings, attracting new clients and strengthening its 
position as a premier destination for baseball training and collegiate bound athletes. These efforts collectively unlocked 
untapped revenue potential and drove sustainable growth for the facility.
