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, built-in formulas for dates and progress, owner assignment fields, and printable/export views.
Professionally Pre-Written & Fully Customizable Plan
This template includes pre-written copy, task lists, and channel prompts tailored for vinyl retailers. It's fully editable so you can change wording, order, and priorities to fit your store. Use it as-is or adapt for seasonal campaigns.
Gantt Chart Format for Visual Planning
The plan uses an Excel Gantt chart to show timelines and task overlaps at a glance. Bars show start, duration, and dependencies so scheduling a listening party or release week is clear. Visual planning reduces missed steps and double-booking.
30+ Pre-Built Marketing Actions
The file ships with 30+ ready tasks covering social, email, in-store, PR, and partnerships for record shops. Each action includes brief instructions so you don't guess the next step. Pick, edit, and schedule the tasks that fit your goals.
Editable Timelines and Task Durations
Start dates and task lengths are fully editable without breaking formulas or the Gantt layout. Drag or change numbers and the chart and dependent dates auto-update. This keeps the plan flexible for last-minute release changes.
Built-In Progress Tracking
The template contains built-in progress fields that calculate percent complete and flag overdue tasks. Use progress bars and status cells to see what's done and what's behind. That visibility helps you hit event dates and campaign launches.
Simplifies Team Coordination
Assign tasks, set owners, and surface dependencies so staff know who does what and when. The template reduces email ping-pong and overlaps by making responsibilities visible. It's useful for small retail teams and volunteer event crews.
Zero Excel Expertise Required
Color-coded inputs and protected logic mean you edit cells without touching formulas. Built-in guidance text explains each field so beginners can update plans safely. The layout is designed to be usable with minimal Excel skill.
Printable and Shareable
Export plan views to PDF and open editable copies in Google Sheets for collaboration. Print a one-page timeline for meetings or handouts for staff. The template is designed for easy sharing with partners or landlords.
Weekly Highlight & Completion Guide
The weekly highlight view shows the current week, upcoming tasks, and recent completions in one pane. Use it for staff meetings to focus this week's priorities and finished items. It keeps teams aligned on the next seven days.
