Question

How do I choose the right business card quantity planning approach?

Answer

The right quantity depends on how often you hand cards out and how stable your information is. Order enough to cover your networking without printing so many that details change before you use them.

RoleSuggested quantity
Frequent networkers500 to 1,000
Small business owners250 to 500
Freelancers starting out100 to 250
  • Count upcoming events: stock up before conferences and market seasons.
  • Check information stability: order fewer if your number, title, or address may change soon.
  • Reserve specialty for targets: premium or plastic cards work best in smaller, high-value quantities.
