Question
What does a starter run of babysitting cards cost?
Answer
Babysitting cards are one of the cheapest marketing tools you can buy, which makes them a smart move even for a teen sitter on a tight budget. Standard cards on a basic stock cost only a few cents each in bulk, so a starter run stays inexpensive.
- Starter run: 100 to 250 cards is plenty to hand out at schools, community boards, and to neighbors.
- Stock: 14pt gloss or matte keeps the price low. A slightly thicker 16pt feels more grown-up.
- Optional upgrades: rounded corners, soft-touch coating, or a QR code to a booking page add a small cost but raise perceived value.
Keep the design simple, name, phone, age range, and availability, and reprint a fresh batch once you have run down to about 25 cards.
