What is included in the product
Written Marketing Plan Template in Excel Gantt Chart
You get an editable Excel Gantt chart, 30+ pre-built marketing actions, built-in progress formulas, printable views, and example content tailored to hardware stores.
Professionally Pre-Written & Fully Customizable Plan
This template includes a pre-written marketing plan you can fully edit in Excel. Change copy, channels, and timing to fit your store or contractor audience. It cuts drafting time and delivers a client-ready plan.
Gantt Chart Format for Visual Planning
The plan uses a horizontal Gantt chart for weekly visual planning. Tasks, dependencies, and dates display clearly so you can sequence work and spot overlaps. It keeps campaigns on schedule and easy to review.
30+ Pre-Built Marketing Actions
Includes 30+ ready actions across channels like local ads, events, email, loyalty drives, and product demos. Each action comes with brief steps and recommended timing so you won't miss critical tasks. Use them as-is or customize per promotion.
Editable Timelines and Task Durations
All start dates and durations are editable in Excel. Change one date and dependent tasks update automatically via built-in formulas so your plan stays logical. That flexibility keeps campaigns realistic when schedules shift.
Built-In Progress Tracking
Built-in progress tracking shows percent complete per task and highlights overdue items. Conditional formatting color-codes status for quick review and summary bars show weekly completion. That helps you spot bottlenecks and move work forward.
Simplifies Team Coordination
Assign tasks to team members and set dependencies so everyone knows responsibility and timing. The Gantt view reduces overlaps and prevents double work. It's suited for small teams, contractors, and in-store staff coordination.
Zero Excel Expertise Required
No Excel skills needed to use this template. Color-coded input cells, locked formula zones, and inline notes make it safe and simple to edit. Anyone on your team can update the plan without breaking formulas.
Printable and Shareable
The template prints cleanly and exports to PDF for meetings or client handouts. It also opens in common spreadsheet apps for easy sharing with partners. Use print-ready views for team or contractor presentations.
Weekly Highlight & Completion Guide
A weekly highlight row shows current priorities and upcoming deadlines. The completion guide lists next steps for each week to keep teams aligned and reduce last-minute rushes. Use it for quick standups and progress checks.
