Instructions for the User
Step-by-Step Guide:1. Begin by defining your marketing goals in the Marketing Overview. Set targets for engagement, conversion, and brand recall.
2. Populate the Product & Ingredient Tracker with all ingredients you're promoting (e.g., organic oats = Product ID: OAT-101).
3. Assign each weekly meal a Campaign Association ID from your calendar. Example: A “Quinoa Bowl” launched during “Healthy January” → CAM-025.
4. After meals are tracked, input satisfaction scores and social media hashtag usage daily.
5. The Dashboards & Charts sheet auto-updates with insights like "Top Performing Meal-Campaign Pairs" and "Segment Growth Trends."
6. Use the dashboard to pivot your marketing focus: if “Vegan Snacks” have high satisfaction but low reach, invest more in Instagram Reels.
