INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER

1. Start by entering your marketing campaigns in the “Marketing Campaigns” sheet. Use the dropdown for campaign type and input budget.
2. Every time you receive an order, log it in the “Order Log” sheet. Use the dropdown to select which campaign generated that order — this links revenue back to marketing effort.
3. Update “Actual Spend” manually when you pay for ads or services; Excel will auto-calculate ROI and revenue totals.
4. Check the “Dashboards” sheet weekly. Use the charts to see which campaigns are driving sales and which need adjustment.
