The Rising Popularity of Personalised Plates
Antony Clark, Marketing Manager at Plates4Less, discusses the increasing demand for personalised number plates.
He stated: “There’s been a noticeable 30% increase in the market for private plates over the last five years. With cars becoming more costly but also more reliable, many are choosing new plates over new cars.
“People value private plates for their uniqueness, making their vehicles more individual. Our clients often request plates for easier identification in parking areas or to deter theft and cloning.”
Antony Clark, a specialist in number plates, notes that many private plates are often gifts.
He said: “Approximately 2 in 5 of our customers buy private number plates as gifts.”
Why Number Plates are Excellent Gifts
Antony remarked: “Gifts should be thoughtful and luxurious, and private plates are just that. They’re particularly suited for those who are otherwise difficult to buy for.”
Private Plates can be enduring gifts, transferable between vehicles, and can even appreciate in value.
“Our clients now prefer physical gifts over experiences or trips. Searching for and purchasing a private number plate itself becomes an enjoyable activity,” added Antony.
Selecting a Private Plate for Someone
To accommodate the increased interest, Plates4Less has launched their Plates4Gifts Hub, providing comprehensive support throughout the selection process.
Antony commented: “Our goal is to guide customers through their independent searches, while also offering our support.”
The methodology, detailed in the Plates4Gifts Hub Search Guide, involves beginning with a basic idea, such as a name or initials, and then expanding it to include numbers or dates of significance.
