Our Mission statement
To be the largest, cheapest and easiest
to use number plate site in Australia.
Why choose PlateShop.com.au?
During the time that we have been online,
a number of other sites have come and gone.
Why waste your time listing plates on a site
that may disappear at any time? PlateShop.com.au
is different, we are a registered Australian
business (The Cooper Consultancy, ABN 42 580
154 284) and operate under the rules and regulations
of the Office of Fair Trading.
Commercial opportunities
We are always looking for ways to grow our
business and take it to the next level. If
you are interested in partnering with our
website or have any other type of proposal,
please email info@plateshop.com.au
Why did the name change from FreePlates.com
to PlateShop.com.au?
As our business grew, we knew that we needed
a '.au' domain name to identify ourselves
as an Australian website. We could have stuck
with the FreePlates name, however the decision
was made to change to a more suitable name.
The word 'free' may be gone from our name,
but the free listings are definitely not going!
About PlateShop.com.au
After trying to sell my own personalised
plates, I found it very difficult to decide
which advertising was going to work and which
advertising was a waste of money. Most of
the existing sites appeared to be very similar
in design and popularity, not to mention having
a lot of the same number plates for sale.
Then there's eBay, which generally I'm a big
fan of, but when it comes to number plates
you may have noticed that most of them are
passed in with zero offers. It takes longer
than a ten day auction to sell a number plate.
I realised that there needed to be one stand
out site that could rise above all others
and be the first choice for people hunting
for that special plate. I questioned how these
existing sites could justify charging up to
$30 for a few lines which only lasted for
six months or so, and in some cases take commissions
from sellers or charge finders fees etc. I
wanted to make the process as cheap as possible,
and realised that you can't get any cheaper
than free!
I hope you enjoy our site and service as
much as we enjoyed creating and maintaining
it.
