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, owner and status fields, and built-in formulas for progress tracking and dates.
Professionally Pre-Written & Fully Customizable Plan
This is a pre-written, fully editable marketing plan in Excel tailored to u-pick farms. It saves setup time, lets you change copy and channels, and adapts to any local market or crop schedule. Use it as-is or customize campaign language and dates.
Gantt Chart Format for Visual Planning
The template uses a Gantt chart layout in Excel for clear timeline visualization and task sequencing. See planting, pre-harvest promo, opening weekends, and post-harvest follow-up on one screen. The chart makes campaign overlaps and dependencies obvious.
30+ Pre-Built Marketing Actions
Template contains 30+ ready-to-use marketing tasks specific to u-pick berry farms, across social, local PR, partnerships, and on-site promotions. Tasks cover signage, school outreach, tasting posts, seasonal ads, and email reminders. You won't miss critical campaign steps.
Editable Timelines and Task Durations
All start dates and task lengths are editable in Excel without breaking plan logic. Shift a promo, extend stall hours, or compress setup days and the Gantt adjusts. That keeps the roadmap accurate for weather or labor changes.
Built-In Progress Tracking
Progress tracking shows task completion percentages and flags overdue items inside the Excel file. Use percent-complete and status fields to see execution at a glance and spot bottlenecks. That keeps seasonal rollouts on time.
Simplifies Team Coordination
Assign tasks, set owners, and show dependencies so staff and seasonal hires know who's doing what. The plan reduces overlaps and confusion during busy harvest weekends. It works as a single source of truth for operations and marketing.
Zero Excel Expertise Required
Color-coded cells, simple input fields, and built-in logic mean no advanced Excel skills are needed. Non-technical staff can edit dates, owners, and statuses safely. Formulas and conditional formatting are protected and explained.
Printable and Shareable
The Excel Gantt exports to PDF and prints cleanly for staff briefings or tourism partners; it also imports to Google Sheets for cloud editing. Use printable weekly views for on-site checklists or client-facing one-pagers. Share via email or drive links.
Weekly Highlight & Completion Guide
The template includes a weekly highlight row and a completion guide showing current-week priorities and finished tasks. Use the view in stand-ups to focus the team on two to three must-do items. It keeps harvest weekends running smoothly.
