Plain and simple. And to add even more pressure, car shoppers are reading blogs about everything they should or shouldn’t do when buying for the first time. It may feel like an uphill battle, until you start putting yourself in your buyer’s first-time shoes. **1. Know your “first car” lot: ** Every morning, take quick inventory of your lot and identify the top new and used vehicles that are in the sweet spot for first time car buyers. It’s already overwhelming to shop for a first car, so the easier you make it the better. **2. Prepare a special gift:** Come up with a gift only offered to first time car buyers to remind them of how great your dealership is well after they drive off the lot. Get creative and think about how you felt about your first car. Maybe it’s one free monthly car wash for a year. Personalized car mats. **3. Help them make it happen now:** There are times when even the most educated first-time car buyer stumbles when faced with a question like “Do you know your credit score?” or “Do you have car insurance?”. Meet their expectations by providing on-the-spot credit and instant access to auto insurance from apps like [DealerPolicy](https://www.dealerpolicy.com/), which delivers on-the-spot credit scores and car insurance quotes in a matter of minutes, and sometimes seconds. If you learn anything from these tips, let it be that firsts in life are the standard. By making the **first car** buying experience remarkable, thoughtful, and easy - you may turn this one deal into a lifetime of referrals.   [![Horizontal CTA | 2019 Auto Dealership Income 2019 Ebook - NB UPDATED](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3811296/95620791-9d47-4606-bb1f-a2f58d0883be.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3811296/95620791-9d47-4606-bb1f-a2f58d0883be) Topic(s): ## [Travis Fitzgerald](https://dealerpolicy-3811296.hs-sites.com/blog/author/travis-fitzgerald) ## Recent Posts [ Posted on February 24, 2022 By Travis Fitzgerald Polly Delivers First Personalized Insurance Enrollment Integrated Into The Auto Retail Experience ](https://dealerpolicy-3811296.hs-sites.com/blog/polly-announces-dealer-com-integration) [ Posted on January 11, 2022 By Travis Fitzgerald DealerPolicy Announces New Strategic Partnership with APCO Holdings ](https://dealerpolicy-3811296.hs-sites.com/blog/dealerpolicy-announces-new-strategic-partnership-with-apco-holdings) [ Posted on December 21, 2021 By Travis Fitzgerald DealerPolicy Appoints Insurance Industry Veteran Tom Super as Head of Agency Solutions ](https://dealerpolicy-3811296.hs-sites.com/blog/dealerpolicy-appoints-insurance-industry-veteran-tom-super-as-head-of-agency-solutions) ## Subscribe to our blog. ## Contact DealerPolicy [** sales@dealerpolicy.com](mailto:sales@dealerpolicy.com) [** 1.800.564.0900](tel:18005640900) ## Company [For Automotive Retailers](https://dealerpolicy-3811296.hs-sites.com/for-dealerships) [For Insurance Carriers](https://dealerpolicy-3811296.hs-sites.com/for-carriers) [Leadership Team](https://dealerpolicy-3811296.hs-sites.com/leadership) [Newsroom](https://dealerpolicy-3811296.hs-sites.com/blog/tag/newsroom) ## Our Blog [Blog Home](https://www.dealerpolicy.com/blog) [F&I](https://www.dealerpolicy.com/blog/tag/fi) [Digital Retailing](https://www.dealerpolicy.com/blog/tag/digital-retailing) [Newsroom](https://www.dealerpolicy.com/blog/tag/newsroom) ## Learn More [Contact Us](https://dealerpolicy-3811296.hs-sites.com/contact-us) [Careers](https://dealerpolicy-3811296.hs-sites.com/careers) [Login](https://app.dealerpolicy.com/) [DealerPolicy Insurance](https://www.dealerpolicyinsurance.com) [![Book a Demo](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3811296/d13752e9-bd0e-48e0-a4d3-0ee4b23f21e8.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3811296/d13752e9-bd0e-48e0-a4d3-0ee4b23f21e8) DealerPolicy Insurance Agency is a licensed agency and a wholly owned subsidiary of DealerPolicy.
