What is included in the product
Written Marketing Plan Template in Excel Gantt Chart
The Excel version includes an editable Gantt chart, 30+ pre-built marketing actions, built-in tracking formulas, a printable PDF layout, and a sample campaign you can adapt.
Professionally Pre-Written & Fully Customizable Plan
The template contains pre-written messaging, channel tactics, and campaign stages aimed at candle and home-fragrance stores. You can edit copy, reorder tasks, and swap channels so the plan matches your store, inventory, and seasonality.
Gantt Chart Format for Visual Planning
The visual Gantt layout maps tasks across weeks so you see overlaps and handoffs at a glance. Bars, milestones, and dependencies make sequencing clear for product drops, holiday promos, and workshop series.
30+ Pre-Built Marketing Actions
The file ships with 30+ ready marketing actions covering in-store events, email, social, PR, and local partnerships. Each action is pre-filled with suggested timing so you don't miss steps during peaks like holidays.
Editable Timelines and Task Durations
Start dates and task lengths are fully editable so you can shift launches without breaking the plan's logic. Built-in formulas keep dependent tasks aligned when you extend or compress timelines.
Built-In Progress Tracking
Progress tracking shows percent complete and flags overdue tasks so you see execution gaps instantly. Visual completion bars and a weekly snapshot make status updates faster for standups and reports.
Simplifies Team Coordination
Assign owners, add notes, and use clear dependencies so teams avoid duplicated work and missed handoffs. The template reduces back-and-forth by centralizing who does what and when.
Zero Excel Expertise Required
Designed for non-Excel users: color-coded editable cells, protected formulas, and inline instructions guide every change. You don't need to write formulas to keep the plan working.
Printable and Shareable
Export clean PDFs for meetings and print handouts, or copy the workbook to Google Sheets for live collaboration. The layout is presentation-ready for partners, landlords, or pop-up applications.
