Tell us: why did you want Villages or Villagers in the name? Why did you start this thread?

I picked the name because I wanted to transition from working all throughout central Florida to the villages exclusively. I honestly wasn't trying to attach myself to the villages by any means, just thought of it as a Professional service at the villages. I started the thread just to get an outsiders view looking in. Once again, thank you all for the input. You have given me a lot of food for thought!

Why do some people on TOTV have "Love", "Happy", and other words in their name here?

To the OP, if you ever need a new CEO.... you now know where to look.

And some just like to bash and name call on a message board because they don't agree.

that's waht i said also (post #19)

This I can tell you from dealing in the construction business around The Villages.

If you have Villages in the name, most will assume that you or your company are part of The Villages or one of the main contractors they use.

Lots of people have the thought that if you are a main contractor or supplier to The Villages, that the price is jacked up and will cost a lot more if you had contacted a smaller Contractor. Has nothing to do with The Villages or the Morse's conducting business smartly or otherwise. It is just a fact.

The OP was simply just trying to clarify what they might have been told at the Garden Show. I would also think the same if I did not know better. No fault in stating the obvious.
This is just a simple thread, no need to blow it up.

Ease up Trigger, It will all be alright..

I believe that, yes, you are obviously affiliated or associated; however, you are not owned by The Villages, right?

I think it's wonderful to be affiliated with The Villages! What is sad is that SO many, and way too often, speak poorly of anything "The Villages" related, even though they enjoy so many of its perks, too! SMH!
Don't change who you or your business is, or even its name, to satisfy the naysayers!

Thank You. I'm not going to change it. I really just wanted to let people know that we are independent contractors who do great work for fair prices. We give free estimates so you really can't loose by calling us!

Where did that come from? Isn't that what the OP is trying to clear up that he is not?

It sure gets someone alot of mileage and exposure to not be affiliated with The Villages.
