heads up: mamemarquees is nowhttp://www.gameongrafix.com/

We have a new name, and a new website!

www.gameongrafix.com

After 7yrs we made the decision to change our name to Game On Grafix. Mamemarquees.com worked well when all we did was Mame Marquees, but in the last 7yrs we have grown, and now offer many more products. The Mamemarquees.com site will live on and we will still be doing business under the Mamemarquees LLC .. We plan to keep the Mamemarquees.com site alive for link integrity, but all the products will eventually point back to this site. Down the road I would like to turn it into a blog and forum site, but that is "down the road"

We are bringing many new items and options to the new site:

Adhesive backed marquees
Marquees Pre-mounted to plexiglas
Contour cutting and die cutting of buttons holes and complex cuts.
Easier interface for ordering customer designed items
Pinball translites
Vinyl Button stickers
Vinyl Joystick surrounds
Lower over all prices
Help desk, so no more lost or spam emails
Those new options sound interesting!

I think name recognition is more important than having your name precisely match your products/services. For example, "International House of Pancakes" serves more than just pancakes; they even serve more than just breakfast.

That is why they are keeping the Mamemarquees.com URL as a launching pad for the new sitename.

That's fine, but you are still throwing the new name into the mix, which is a potential source of confusion regardless of the ties you keep to the old name.
 
I say stick with the original and just concentrate on your product and workload. New name sounds kind of ghetto to me anyway.
 
A name says alot, and it's something that should be carefully chosen. After 7 years, I think you're too well-known to suddenly pull a switch on people. I think it would do more harm than good at this point.
 
No matter what the name, you have my business... Scott has impressed me with everything I've bought from him, and when I had a minor issue, he stepped and resolved it immediately..

I would leave the mamemarquee's tied into the new name or have them co-exist, you already have a good reputation and name recognition and that alone is tough to build..

Best of luck with your new name also!!
 
Well to keep up with the positive responses here, I'd like to point out to the new services and overall lower prices, something I'm more interested in than any name issues.

I can see that MAME marquees may be putting some new people off.

I don't care about the name, I like it that business is still improving for us. Good job !

Only thing I could see that happening is maybe a new customer might see mame in the title and might be one of those that hates mame or thinks mame is the devil who knows. You build up a business name and rep you just dont change it if things are going good for you, just stupid in my opinion.

It kept me Away, How about arcadegrafix. If he keeps the old site it will not hurt anything. What is mame? Yes, I Fart Dust.
 
mame marquees is a great name. when i built my first mame cab and was searching for a marquee, guess what i googled? you guessed it. mame marquee. now guess which website came up first...
 
No matter what the name is,as along as he offers great products at good prices and has good customer service,people will remember the name regardless of what it is changed to.Plus it is his company,so he is entitled to change it to whatever he feels like.
