Personalised number plates are exactly that a plate that is personal to the owner. Typically when a car is bought, it comes with a registration number. This is specific to the vehicle.

Personalised plates are often called cherished plates or private plates. The terms are relatively inter-changeable .Whatever term you use, practically anyone can get a personalised number plate.

Previously personalised number plates where generally associated with the rich and famous but these days anyone can get one. There are a number of reasons why personalised number plates have grown in popularity over the past several years.

Here are just three;

1. Investment

People invest in all things property, gold, wine, art, savings and bonds. Another way to invest your hard earned cash is with personalised number plates. Believe it! There are many, many examples of proven return on investments. Take 1 SAJ for example. It was bought in the mid nineties for about 3,300 and it is now valued at around 30,000. Thats not a bad return of investment by anyones standards.

It does take knowledge of course to know what to invest in but help is always at hand by a specialist company like our own. Look for exclusive numbers and solo numbers . The number 1 shows scarcity with any combination of letters. Its a very popular choice- e.g., VIP 1 was first used on the Popemobile when Pope John Paul 2nd visited Ireland. It last sold for around 200,000 back in January 2006, an increase of 135%.

2. Fun

Having a personalised plate is fun. You dont have to have a registration that makes sense to everyone else. You can have something that makes you smile every time you get into the car. e.g., you could have something like DO57 COW for your girlfriend or MS61 TCH for your mother-in-law.

Personalised private numbers make great fun gifts, instead of the usual perfume or jewellery. Ive seen marks that read something like this, e.g., JHZ 1. Ill use my name as an example- JH for Jayne Henry , and 21 for the date of my birthday.

Celebrate an achievement , a wedding anniversary or something you love with a personalised plate. Certain registration plates are not as expensive as one would imagine.
3 Promotion

There are a myriad of ways to market a business, there are flyers, websites, blogs, articles (like this one!), trade shows, newsletters. The list is quite endless its only limited by your mind! A clever way to promote a business is by using a
personalised mark.

Lets face it, registration plates are viewable by everyone, practically everywhere when your parked and when your in traffic.

A plumbing company based in London, Pimlico Plumbers have cherished registratio
Plates on each of their company vehicles. Each plate relates to their business; The following are examples of the registration they own: LO02 OLDRAD 5. B19 TAPGAS 68 WC80 G S110 WER 8 WCX1 EAKBOG 1 GA51 EAKLO02 LOO DRA 1NWC 55LAV 1HA51 EAKLO02 TAP
G2 LOOFLU 55H

These are just three reasons to get a personalised plate. There are plenty more But whatever your reason, make sure you get something that means something to you
- or your pocket. It will be well worth it.
