What is included in the product
Written Marketing Plan Template in Excel Gantt Chart
You get an editable Excel workbook with a fully configurable Gantt chart, 30+ pre-built marketing actions, pre-written plan sections, owner fields, and built-in formulas for timelines and progress.
Professionally Pre-Written & Fully Customizable Plan
This pre-written Excel plan gives ready marketing copy, channel tasks, and KPIs. It's fully editable so you can tailor messaging, timing, and budgets to any shoe line. Saves hours compared to starting from scratch.
Gantt Chart Format for Visual Planning
The template uses an Excel Gantt chart so you see timelines at a glance. Tasks are color-coded, sequenced, and linked to launch months for each collection. It simplifies sequencing and highlights bottlenecks.
30+ Pre-Built Marketing Actions
Includes 30+ ready marketing actions covering channels like email, social, PR, and paid ads. Actions are tailored for footwear launches: pre-launch buzz, product page build, influencer outreach, and post-launch retention. Use them as-is or edit to fit your brand.
Editable Timelines and Task Durations
All start dates and durations are editable without breaking formulas. Drag dates, change task lengths, and the Gantt adjusts automatically. Good when production shifts or launch windows move.
Built-In Progress Tracking
The sheet shows task completion percentages and flags overdue work automatically. Progress rolls up to weekly and campaign-level views so you can spot slippage. It helps keep launch readiness visible to the whole team.
Simplifies Team Coordination
Assign tasks, add owners, and show dependencies so teams coordinate without extra tools. The Gantt and task list reduce overlaps and handoff friction. Share snapshots with marketing, production, and operations.
Zero Excel Expertise Required
No complex Excel skills needed; color-coded cells and on-sheet instructions guide users. Formulas and logic are locked where needed, so edits are safe. You'll get structured outputs without learning advanced Excel.
Printable and Shareable
Export to PDF and common cloud spreadsheet apps for meetings and collaboration. The layout fits one-page executive views and multi-week Gantt exports for teams. Use printed timelines in production and retail meetings.
Weekly Highlight & Completion Guide
Includes a weekly highlight row and a completion guide that shows this week's priorities and finished tasks. It marks high-priority items and suggests next steps for launch readiness. Use it for weekly standups and status emails.
