    Of course, business cards are not online advertising. The fact that you can target your business cards to the people who are most likely to have some positive impact on your business improves your rate of return significantly. And assuming that your cards are good and your distribution is appropriate, you can think in terms of ten to twenty cards for a return--a great improvement on two thousand for one!

    However good your distribution and your card, though, the number of cards you should print will depend on the nature of your business. In general, two rules are important to keep in mind:

    • The more dependent your business is on clients and referrals, the more business cards you should print.

    • The more money you make per referral, the more business cards you should print.

    In order to understand the first rule, consider the different promotional challenges faced by different types of businesses. Take, for example, a web designer and a small pottery store. The web designer works primarily from home, communicating with clients through email and through occasional meetings with local clients. The pottery store does a small business through a website, but also receives some amount of foot traffic and walk-ins on a daily basis.

(And keeping a stock of business cards with the website address at the counter of the store is by no means a bad idea.) But the store isn't entirely dependent on referrals--the physical storefront brings in new customers just by virtue of existing. The web designer, by contrast, has no business outside of referrals--he has no physical location for potential customers to visit, and a website containing his portfolio and advertising his services is more dependent on online advertising than on advertising in the physical world.

    Business cards are essential in any business; just make sure that you pick a number that works for your business.
