How many business cards should a new cleaning company order?

For a brand-new cleaning business, a starter run of 250 to 500 cards usually covers the first month or two without overcommitting.

• 250 to 500: enough for estimates, networking, and leave-behinds while you refine your design.
• 1,000 or more: makes sense once your client base grows, since the per-card cost drops at higher volumes.
• Small price gap: the difference between 250 and 500 cards is often just a few dollars, so rounding up is usually worth it.

Order enough to stay stocked between jobs, but keep the first batch modest if your branding might still change.
