Ideas, Inspiration and a Creative Perspective on Marketing from Inside the Embassy


Does user experience match new branding?

A smart strategic decision to expand the service offering and update the communication platform. All sound well thought out and should generate leads to the site.But once at the site, lendingtree.com, the current web user experience doesn't connect well with this messaging. Perhaps updates are in the works as the campaign rolls out? 

It appears you're on a home lending site, the other services on the navigation bar are minimal - 

Home, Refinance, Mortgage, Home Equity, Auto Loans, MoneyRight, Credit Cards, Credit Scores, Loan Coach, Advice & Calculators, 

The new tag line at this point is not in place, a logo lock reads, "The All New Lending Tree."

A large block of copy in the middle right of the page reads, "Take Control Of Your Financial Destiny

* Make smart financial decisions with MoneyRight, our free personal finance tool

* Get competitive loan offers from our network of trusted lenders

* Conquer the loan process with interactive Loan Coach tools and calculators"

I assume the site has gone through significant usability studies and is set up to optimize and close the sale. Just from a cursory review, the user experience appears as a bit of a disconnect from the new marketing message. There could be several explainable reasons for it.

How you been, just wanted to say that I don’t agree with you. Most likely it’s just a personal vendetta. I has had a VA for like a really really long time and I have had nothing but easy going times with amerigroup. Amerigroup mortgage is awesome and is a memeber of the bbb. If you don’t agrree I bet you don’t have any good comeback.

When you write this article, you should think in your mind about your experience. Nothing is impossible. If we can pull our brain to past time, I am sure that you are right and understand my talk. In order to implement our mind to be written, in book, offline, or even in online journal such as brave journal, blogger, type pad, or other platform; we are expressing our mind in written media. Honestly, it is our spirit to become great writer. It is though path. Yes, I am not sure, where we will go to. There is no assurance. And there is always truth behind all scenes. With your amusement, we can make future plan, might be big project that we can do after I propose to my other partner. Your path can be changed with this project, I guarantee you. But, we must check your skills, other requirements, and all the things right. See you.
