.<br />
LeDonne Creative worked with <a href="http://www.alleghenyfamilynetwork.org/">Allegheny Family Network</a> to develop a new website. The main goal of the site is to educate visitors about Allegheny Family Network and its services, and to drive calls to the The AFN Chat Line. Also, one of the goals was to develop keyword rich content pages to drive organic traffic based on a number of keywords and phrases on a local level. The site was also developed with a database in place to capture E-Newsletter sign ups for ongoing electronic distribution of it monthly newsletter.</p>
<p><strong>Organization Testimonial of Services Received from Memorable, Relevant Marketing by John LeDonne </strong></p>
<p>Allegheny Family Network a new organization in Allegheny County needed to get off the ground with a website, brochure, tracks and a professional looking power point. <a href="http://ledonnecreative.com/blog/about-john-ledonne">John LeDonne</a> was recommended to us by a marketing consultant and we decided to go with him.  </p>
<p>John has been great to work with and has created excellent materials to promote Allegheny Family Network in a professional manner.  We met with John and explained to him what we do at Allegheny Family Network and he ran with it.  John took our existing logo and softened the look and we were very pleased.  He was very accommodating and patient with our limited knowledge of creating a website and patient in our proof reading the information before going to print or on the website.  John met with our administrative staff and our IT person to explain how to manage the site.  He has been supportive in every aspect of this endeavor. </p>
<p>Allegheny Family Network is extremely pleased with our selection in <a href="http://ledonnecreative.com/blog/about-john-ledonne">John LeDonne</a> and would recommend his services to any of our colleagues &#8211; Ruth Fox , Executive Director, Allegheny Family Network   </p>

<p><a href="http://www.ledonnecreative.com">Pittsburgh marketing agency</a>, LeDonne Creative, develops FOODIEâ€™S Gourmet Food Club brand name and Logo. </p>
<p>Mariani&#8217;s Gourmet Foods produces and distributes Italian food for business throughout the country. Mariani&#8217;s Gourmet Foods introduced a consumer product line of â€œHeat and Eatâ€ foods that broadens their food category beyond their traditional Italian product line. </p>
<p>Through research, LeDonne Creative discovered that the term FOODIEâ€™S was quickly becoming a culture and the way food lovers were identifying with themselves; What better way to identify a brand that was going to produce and distribute hand made quality Heat and Eat foods! Understanding that FOODIES Gourmet Food Club will produce multiple food categories across various ethnicity&#8217;s, the logo needed to be bold, simple and ambiguous.           </p>

Some think it is great strategy. Others think it is a great offer. I believe that all of these can be part of a truly successful marketing campaign. But one thing that I know for sure, without measurable goals and a testing plan, all these beliefs will just be good guesses.<span> </span><strong></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">Why should I Test My Marketing Campaigns?</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The primary reason for testing is to determine the effectiveness of a campaign. I have seen many great campaigns in my time, some inexpensive, and some with a healthy sticker price. The one thing most of these campaigns had in common was the lack of testing and the inability to determine the ROI. The more you understand what your target audience is responding to, and acting on, the better you will be in developing effective campaigns &#8211; This does not mean that once you test a few campaigns you understand the target and you no longer need to test. You will always need to test. There are many variables that can change what your target audience will react to. So, testing on a consistent basis will help you better predict and develop campaigns that will yield greater results. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">How do I test my Marketing Campaigns?</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">There are many ways to test your marketing campaign from focus groups, keyword word based adds to unique URLâ€™s and 800 numbers. During the development of the strategy and â€œThe Goal of the Marketing Campaignâ€ this should be determined.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Example: You are running a banner campaign. The campaign will consist of multiple banner designs, on multiple sites, in multiple sections of each site. You could tag each banner with a unique ID and measure the click performance all the way through to the goal. <span> </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">What Type of Marketing Campaigns Should I Test?</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">You should test every campaign and if you have a goal oriented website, you should test that on an ongoing basis. With the current tools and technologies you can test just about every type of traditional or non- traditional marketing campaign. The following is a list of the types of campaigns you can test; this is not a complete list. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span> </span></span></p>
