Key Formulas Required

• In “Sales Tracker”, Net Profit = [Sales Amount] * [Profit Margin] (e.g., $100 * 0.45 = $45 profit)
• In “Channel Performance”: Total Sales per Channel = SUMIF(SalesTracker!E:E, ChannelPerformance!A2, SalesTracker!C:C)
• ROI per Channel = (Total Net Profit / Budget) * 100 (e.g., $65 profit / $50 budget = 130% ROI)
• Total Marketing Spend = SUM(MarketingPlanOverview!F:F)
• Conversion Rate (%) = COUNT of Sales / Estimated Reach (manually entered in overview or based on channel benchmarks).

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Sales Tracker: Highlight rows where Net Profit > $75 in green; under $10 in red.
• Channel Performance: Color-code ROI values: Green = 100%+, Yellow = 50–99%, Red = Below 50%. This helps identify which channels are worth doubling down on or abandoning.
• Marketing Plan Overview: Status column uses color icons — red for “On Hold”, orange for “Planned”, blue for “Active”, green for “Completed”.

Instructions for the User (Home Use Friendly)

Welcome to your personal Marketing Plan Sales Tracker! This tool is designed so that even if you’ve never used Excel before, you can succeed:

1. Begin by filling out the Marketing Plan Overview. Define 3–5 realistic goals for the month. Be specific: “Sell 10 handmade candles via Instagram” not “Get more sales.”
2. Use the drop-down menus — they prevent typos and ensure consistency.
3. Every time you make a sale, log it in the Sales Tracker. Pick the channel from the dropdown that led to that sale (e.g., “Instagram” or “Word-of-Mouth”). If unsure, pick “Unknown” — you can revisit later.
4. Update your Profit Margin (%) based on cost of materials/time. E.g., if you spend $20 to make a candle and sell it for $40, your margin is 50%.
5. Check the Dashboards sheet weekly. Look for which channels give you the best ROI.
6. If a channel has low ROI after 3 weeks, try something new — maybe switch from flyers to Facebook Groups.
7. Tip: Print this template once a month and review with family or friends to celebrate wins and adjust next month’s plan!
