Question
How many Business Cards should I order for a networking event?
Answer
A simple rule works well: bring about twice as many cards as the number of people you expect to meet. For a 100-person event, carry roughly 200 cards so you never run short.
| Expected contacts | Cards to bring |
|---|---|
| 25 | 50 |
| 50 | 100 |
| 100 | 200 |
Padding your count covers the conversations you did not plan for and the people who ask for a spare to pass along. Running out mid-event undercuts the prepared, professional impression your card is meant to create, so err on the generous side.
