How Personalised Number Plates Help You Express Yourself
You're not any old Tom, Dick, or Harry. You're you, an individual, unique person.
That deserves a celebration. And while you could throw a party or do something momentous, why not something that celebrates you every day, all day?
What better way to show how unique you are than with personalised number plates? Check out these awesome ideas for number plates that help you express who you are.
Psychology of Self Expression
Psychology tells us that people need to express themselves to feel validated and distinguish themselves from other people. It's how we connect to others, and we do this in many ways.
From our clothing and personal style to the inside and outside of our homes, the things we use every day reflect who we are--and we need them to. Personal growth moves forward with our individuality.
This is no different for our vehicles and the cars we drive. And one of the best ways to be unique with your car is with a personalised number plate.
Introduce Yourself
When you meet someone at a dinner party, you say, "My name is Harry, what's yours?" You can do the same sort of introduction with your car and your personalised plate. Try switching letters for numbers if your own name isn't available.
You can use your first or your last name, whichever seems the most significant to you. For example, use HOL 7ON for Holden. Or for a first name, try JEN 33Y, SHR I3Y, and RUS 3L.
You could get a number plate with your initials on it, too. For example, a woman named Hailey Lyon might want a plate with 9 HL, in particular, if her husband, George, could have 84 GL. Then they'd have a matched set.
Help others recognize you and your car, and express your individuality at the same time.
Talk About Your Hobbies
Besides expressing your individuality, number plates also help you be part of a group. Others can recognise you by your affiliation to a group if you choose the right plate.
Whether you buy your plate from us or even a private seller, something like B2 KNT or SUR IF can tell the world that you are part of the knitting or surfing communities.
Do you like to read? You could search for 221 B and for Baker Street, or Holmes to find a plate that expresses your love of literature.
For a monumental anniversary, your whole club could get themed number plates. If your cooking club or dinner share group has met once a month for ten years, call a special meeting to find plates that match your taste preferences. D6 CHF, or F11 OOD are great ones.
Share Your Occupation
Tell what you do for a living or advertise your business.
The plate CJH 4IR is perfect for a stylist. Or if you have a fleet of vehicles, ensure they each have a personalised number plate having to do with your profession, like these examples:
- Farm lorry with THE 805S
- Plumber with F1 XXT, 2 TLT, and FL19 USH
- Dentist with LE55 CVT or SML 2J
- Financial advisors and investment companies might like S55 AVE, MON 3Y, and 59 MNY
It would be a perfect marketing stunt to have your social media followers help you choose a plate. Put it out as a competition on Instagram or Facebook, and ask your followers to add friends or fans in exchange for entering the competition.
The hive mind is always better than one alone, so you'll get some extra publicity along with the great number plate ideas.
Personalised Number Plates Show Your Values
Besides for hiding your car's age, personalised number plates have all kinds of other benefits, like the fact that they appreciate in value. But they help introduce yourself, even while you're only driving down the road.
If you want to show how important your family is to you, buy a plate like J8 SON or 7 DAD.
TH17 NKU could tell people you're grateful. Maybe you're thanking someone specific, or maybe you're practising the mindful habit of being grateful. Either way, it's a conversation starter and a way to tell other drivers about yourself.
If you don't get stressed out easily, show it with your personalised plate. To let people know you go with the flow and have a relaxed demeanour, use a plate like R31 AXX.
To encourage others toward activism, something like ACT 14E would work. Mantras and personal mottos are a good place to start when considering what you want on your number plate.
Express Your Preferences
Still not sure which part of your personality you want to show off to the other drivers? Think about the questions you ask when you meet someone, or the quizzes speed daters have to answer.
Your favourites are perfect places to start. You can use your favourite colour, like YE11 OWX. Or your favourite condiment: MUS 444D.
What about your most loved animal? Try 7 APE, CAT 1, and CAM 81L. Or be more general with PAW 3L and GR11 OWL.
Have a favourite vacation spot? Put it on your number plate and let people know where you'd rather be. Instead of a bumper sticker, be unique and let yourself shine with a personalised plate.
Express Yourself
Personalised number plates are like jewels for your car. Unique plates make your vehicle your own and give it a bit of flair. Choose the right one and everyone will know your taste and style.
