Christmas Tree Farm
Marketing Plan

This template includes pre-written marketing copy, timelines, and task lists that save hours of setup. Every section is editable so you can match your farm's voice, pricing, and events. Use it as-is or tailor it for your market and promotions.

Editable copy for emails and posts

Swap events to match calendar

Adjust pricing and product lines

Regionalized messaging options included

The plan uses an Excel Gantt chart for clear visual timelines and task sequencing. You'll see campaign overlap, staffing needs, and seasonal peaks at a glance. That clarity makes scheduling harvests, markets, and promotions simple.
