Why does running out of cards cost me business?

Effective quantity planning means you always have a card ready the moment an opportunity appears. The professionals who close the most connections are simply the ones who never have to say they ran out.

• Match the order to the pattern: base your run on your real monthly distribution, not on a just-in-case guess.
• Avoid over-ordering: a giant pile that outlasts your current design wastes money.
• Keep a buffer: reorder before you are empty so a busy stretch never catches you short.

Consistency is the whole point. A steady supply turns every meeting, event, and chance encounter into a chance to hand over your details.
