Question

Can I write business cards off as an advertising expense?

Answer

Business card costs scale with quantity, stock, and finishes, and they usually count as a deductible advertising expense.

Most businesses spend roughly $30 to $200 per batch of 250 to 1,000 cards.
Premium touches like embossing or foil raise the price but boost perceived value.
Because the spend is typically a deductible advertising expense, the real out-of-pocket cost is often lower than the sticker price.
Start with a small run to test the design, then scale to larger, lower-per-unit quantities.

Order	Typical range
250 to 1,000 standard cards	About $30 to $200
Premium finishes	Added cost, higher impact
