Dairy Farming
Marketing Plan

This Excel template includes a pre-written marketing plan tuned for dairy supply sales and wholesale contracts. Every section is editable so you can tailor messages, pricing notes, and channel choices to your herd and region. It saves time and ensures professional, consistent proposals for buyers.

Editable messaging and pricing fields

Pre-filled dairy-specific examples

Adjustable for regional markets

The template uses an Excel Gantt chart layout to show campaign timelines, task overlaps, and dependencies at a glance. You can visualize sowing of leads, tasting events, contract renewals, and delivery windows on one timeline. That clarity cuts coordination errors and keeps launches on schedule.

The file contains 30+ ready marketing actions tailored to dairy supply sales-trade shows, processor outreach, sample deliveries, quality audits, and seasonal promotions. Actions span sales, PR, events, and digital channels so nothing critical is missed. Use them as-is or swap in farm-specific tactics.

Prospecting email templates included

All start dates and task durations are editable in Excel without breaking dependencies or the chart logic. Shift a milking-season campaign or extend sample testing and the Gantt adjusts automatically. That flexibility keeps plans realistic as farm operations change.
