What Marketing Strategies are Working For You Right Now?

[Jonathan Hayek]

I get that deals are hard to come by these days, but I know there are plenty of people having success. Over the last year, I've put quite a bit of time and money into marketing and have had very limited success. I'm curious what methods you're finding success with these days. I've done quite a bit of direct mail, newspaper ads, radio, and TV. Nothing has been particularly effective. 

There could be tons of reasons why my methods aren't working - bad lists, bad letter, bad message, wrong time of day, targeting the wrong demographic, too small of a market, etc... 

Relationships and connections are the best way to get deals. Other than that, what's working for you?
