Did we get enough applications to submit to the state for the greyhound license plates?

Happy New year! Brandy is doing great. What a doll baby. As far as I know they only have about 50 applicants and they need 300. I haven't applied yet but it doesnt make a difference yet. I wish we could get more people interested in it. It would be great to have. my daughter has one in Virginia.

I think most people are waiting to see what the license plate design looks like. I know I haven't taken the application to handout at playgroup because I know people will ask what it is going to look like.

Well HI Linda! Glad to hear Brandy's been a good girl.
Maybe we'll get the tags next year.

Does anyone know when we will be able to see what they look like? Sounds like it would help get applications in. Question

Most people are visual and want to see what they are purchasing before they purchase it. If this weren't the case, advertising wouldn't be the multizillion dollar a year industry that it is. As it stands right now it's just sort of a vague concept floating around out there ... you can't really expect people to be excited and willing to spend their money if they don't know what they're getting and when they may expect it, you know?

I'm confident we could sell these quickly if we could show people the design. So what is the status of the design?

I agree, I need to order 3 tags but I kind of want to see them first. Smile

I agree. I would like to see what it looks like first. I have two vehicles to tag.

If I remember correctly the tag is like the 'I Care' tags with only 4 letters or numbers available for personalization.

You are correct Leah. You can have personalized but it can only be four letter/numbers.

But since we are only required to have a tag on the rear of the car in NC you can get the new Greyhound tag for the back and put your old tag on the front.

The license plate is on the list of items to be discussed at the next Board Meeting. The good thing is our deadline was not Dec 31st. The plan was to have enough orders by then but it was not a drop dead date. And until we see the design we won't meet the 300 requirement.

Actually, the tag remanins property of the state and if by some reason you were stopped and the Officer wanted to be a pain, they could take it from you to give back to DMV. Just something to think about when putting it on the car.
