Marketing Plan - Stock Control Analysis View Excel Template

This specialized Excel template integrates three critical business functions—Marketing Plan, Stock Control, and Analysis View—into a unified, dynamic dashboard designed for marketing teams managing inventory-driven campaigns. Unlike generic marketing spreadsheets, this template bridges the gap between promotional strategy and real-time inventory status, enabling data-driven decisions that align campaign demand with supply capacity. The "Analysis View" ensures all metrics are visualized in context, allowing users to identify oversupply risks, stockouts during peak campaigns, or underperforming products tied to marketing spend.

Sheet Names

Dashboard: Central analytics hub with KPIs and charts.
Product Inventory: Master record of all SKUs with stock levels, reorder points, and cost data.
Campaign Tracking: Links marketing campaigns to specific products, budgets, channels, and projected sales.
Stock-Marketing Correlation: Calculated view showing predicted demand vs. current stock levels.
Historical Trends: Monthly historical data for forecasting accuracy validation.
Settings & Parameters: User-configurable inputs (e.g., lead time, safety stock %, campaign duration).

Key Formulas Required

In Stock-Marketing Correlation Sheet: =IF([@[Expected Units Sold]] > ([@Current Stock] + ([@Safety Stock %] * [@Current Stock])), "Risk: Understock", IF([@[Expected Units Sold]] < ([@Current Stock] * 0.7), "Risk: Overstock", "Balanced"))
In Dashboard: =SUMIFS(Campaign Tracking!Budget, Campaign Tracking!Status, "Active") to calculate active campaign spend.
=FORECAST.ETS([@Date], Historical Trends!UnitsSold, Historical Trends!Date) for demand forecasting using exponential smoothing.
=VLOOKUP([@Product SKU], Product Inventory, 2, FALSE) to auto-populate product names in Campaign Tracking.

Conditional Formatting Rules

In Product Inventory: Highlight rows red if Current Stock < Reorder Point, yellow if between Reorder Point and 1.5x Reorder Point, green otherwise.
In Campaign Tracking: Color-code "Expected Units Sold" based on correlation status (green = balanced, red = understock risk).
In Dashboard: Use data bars for budget allocation vs. actual spend.

User Instructions

Step 1: Populate the Product Inventory sheet with your current SKU data. Set realistic Reorder Points and Safety Stock % based on supplier lead time and demand volatility.

Step 2: Input new marketing campaigns in Campaign Tracking, linking each to an existing SKU. Always use the dropdown for Status.

Step 3: The Dashboard and Stock-Marketing Correlation sheets auto-update with your inputs. Review red/yellow indicators weekly to adjust campaigns or place replenishment orders.

Step 4: Update Historical Trends monthly with actual sales data to improve forecast accuracy.

WARNING: Do not delete or reorder columns in any sheet—this will break formulas and VLOOKUPs.
