Mark Walker purchased the business in spring 2002 and renamed
the business Markat and added the CC in honor of previous
owner's (Ralph Clark) Custom Communications. In the next few
years Ralph Clark gave his advice & knowledge to Markat CC and
in Spring 2005, Markat CC showcased a new line of State of the
Art Horizontal Print Thermal Tags in Colors. Mark has reworked
the Tag templates to please his clientele and is still doing
this. He listens to what you all want.
Today in 2010, Mark of Markatcc is still doing everything he
can to keep Tag Prices from rising. The UPS shipping you are
charged on your order is the fair amount...not an exorbitant
flat rate per 4,000. This company is still open many times on
weekends, Holidays, and late hours to serve you. We appreciate
your business and your many referrals!
Here is Marks statement to Store Owners shopping for
software:
If you are
shopping for potential software to help run your
store...Tag selection will be an extremely important decision.
Keep in mind that year by year, you will spend far more money
on your tags & labels than you will ever spend on your
software. Our honest counsel:
Always make sure that you have the freedom (with software) to
use ANY printer that you choose & that you can select
ANY size or type of tag that you select or want to
format on your own (And I
Mean Any). Make very sure of this before you purchase
software and make the software writer-salesperson guarantee
it! Too often software writers will only allow certain
printers to be used with their software, because they are
stocking/selling this particular model. Some software writers
even control what Tags-Labels you are allowed to use because
they are getting a kick-back from the tag supplier on the tags
which, in the end, you will pay for! This is a negative,
especially if the Printers or Tags become obsolete before you
hardly use them. If you buy a new car, you should be able to
purchase parts from whomever and not be penalized in your
warranty or pay extra for doing so. Software Tech-support
should never depend on where you purchase your hardware or
tags. Consider your Software choices carefully, because when
you spend $799.00(or
up)
of
your hard earned money on software... it should not control
your hardware or tag choices!! High-priced software does
not mean it's better. It probably has bells & whistles
that you would consider a pain on a daily basis. So, in
essence, sometimes it's JUST more. Simple, easy-to use
software, is usually better.
