Table Structures & Column Definitions

Marketing Budget Allocation Sheet
This sheet mirrors a family budget’s income-expense structure but applies it to marketing channels. Columns include:

Channel (Text): e.g., Social Media Ads, Email Campaigns, Print Flyers, Influencer Partnerships

Budgeted Amount (Currency): Allocated monthly/quarterly funds per channel

Actual Spent (Currency): Updated manually or via linked tracker

Variance % (Percentage): Calculated as ((Actual - Budgeted) / Budgeted) * 100

Prior Month Spend (Currency): For trend analysis

Category (Text): e.g., Digital, Traditional, Offline Events

Monthly Expense Tracker Sheet
Designed like a household expense log but focused on marketing activities:

Date (Date): Date of transaction

Channel (Text): Matched to Budget Allocation sheet

Description (Text): e.g., "Facebook Ad Set #3", "Printing 500 Brochures"

Amount (Currency): Actual cost incurred

Payment Method (Text): e.g., Credit Card, PayPal, Cash

Receipt Attached? (Yes/No): Boolean flag for audit trail

Expected Outcome (Text): e.g., "50 new leads", "20 sales"

ROI & Performance Metrics Sheet
Connects spending to results, essential for a true “Report Version”:

Channel (Text)

Total Spent (Currency)

Total Leads Generated (Number)

Total Conversions/Sales (Number)

Cost Per Lead (Currency): =Total Spent / Total Leads
Cost Per Acquisition (Currency): =Total Spent / Total Conversions
Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) (Percentage): =(Revenue Generated - Total Spent) / Total Spent * 100
Customer Lifetime Value Estimate (Currency): Estimated value of a retained customer

Formulas Required

In the Budget Allocation sheet, variance % formula: =IF(Budgeted<>0, (Actual-Spent-Budgeted)/Budgeted, 0)

In ROI Sheet: ROAS = (Revenue Generated - Total Spent) / Total Spent

Summary dashboard uses SUMIFS to aggregate expenses by channel from the Monthly Tracker.

Forecast formulas predict next month’s spend based on 3-month moving average: AVERAGE(OFFSET(ActualSpent, -2, 0, 3))

Conditional Formatting

Red Fill (Variance > +15%): Highlights overspending channels.

Green Fill (Variance ≤ -10%): Indicates under-spending, suggesting potential missed opportunities.

Yellow Highlight (Cost Per Lead > Industry Benchmark): Alerts users when efficiency drops below target.

ROAS ≥ 300% → Green Background, ROAS < 100% → Red Background: Quick visual ROI gauge.

User Instructions

Begin by setting your monthly/quarterly marketing budget in the “Marketing Budget Allocation” sheet. Treat this like a family budget—allocate funds consciously across channels.

Every time you spend money on marketing (e.g., ads, printing, software), record it in “Monthly Expense Tracker.” Attach digital receipts if possible.

Update the “Expected Outcome” column for each expense to track qualitative goals alongside quantitative spending.

At month-end, input actual conversion/sales numbers from your CRM or sales log into the ROI sheet.

Review the Dashboards & Charts sheet weekly: Look for trends. Is email driving low-cost conversions? Are social ads overspending without results?

This is a Report Version: Use it to generate printable PDFs for stakeholders, investors, or family financial meetings to explain marketing ROI as a household budget item.
