Marketing Your Listing
A weekly action playbook: claim your handle, create a promo, share your link, and get found where baseball families already hang out.
1. Claim your @handle
Your CageList identity — put it everywhere
@yourhandle is your personal CageList profile (cagelist.com/@yourhandle). Your listing link is the bookable cage page. Use both: brand with the handle, book with the listing URL or QR from Host Marketing.
Claim @handle in Settings
Add it to Instagram, TikTok, cards, and flyers so people can find you on CageList.
2. Create a promo code
Text a deal to teams and fill the calendar
Host promo codes are self-serve on your Marketing page. You set the discount; it comes out of your payout, and CageList lowers its fee proportionally too — so you don't cover the whole discount alone. Create one for a travel team or hitting coach, text it with your listing link, and track uses there.
Open Host Marketing → Promo codes
Create a code today — TEAM10, COACH15, or whatever your players will remember.
3. Share your link + get on Google
Booking URL, QR codes, and Maps discovery
Copy your listing link & QR
Share the bookable listing URL — not just your profile. QR codes live on the same Marketing page.
Create a Google Business Profile
Free Maps + Search presence. Paste your CageList booking link as the website. Full step-by-step is on Host Marketing.
4. Share your referral link
Both sides earn $10 in credits
CageList referral program
When someone signs up with your link and converts, you both get $10 in CageList credits. Separate from host promo codes — use both.
5. Social media
Show up where baseball families already are
Post action shots of players using your cage. Put @yourhandle and your booking link in your bio — CageList is your website; Instagram is optional extra presence.
Follow @cagelistTikTok
4–5x/weekPost short hitting drills and cage clips. Follow @cagelist, tag us, and we will tag you back when it fits.
Follow @cagelist on TikTokNextdoor
1x/quarter6. Local partnerships
Three networks that fill calendars
Travel baseball teams
Pitch: Offer a promo code or season package for weekly practice. Guaranteed hours beat one-off bookings.
Why it works: Teams need consistent space Feb–July. One team can fill a big chunk of your calendar.
Private hitting coaches
Pitch: Give them your booking link (and a coach-friendly promo if you want). They bring students weekly.
Why it works: Steady midweek bookings. You provide the space — they bring the students.
Youth leagues
Pitch: Create a league fundraiser promo: a few dollars from each booking can support the league.
Why it works: League leaders promote you to hundreds of families. Feel-good volume marketing.
How to start:Short DM or email — “Hi Coach, I host a backyard cage ~X minutes from your field. Happy to set a team promo code for regular practice. Here's my CageList link.” Pair it with a code from Host Marketing. Full outreach templates & red flags →
7. Listing optimization
Small tweaks that lift bookings
Use action photos
Show players using the cage, not just empty space. Real people help guests picture the session.
