Renting office challenge, exhausted possibilities. Need advice

Hi. I have a professional office building in Monticello NY and I'm having difficulty renting offices. There's a real estate office that occupies part of the space and lawyers- so it's definitely attractive. It's in the center of town close to post office, courts, stores, etc .

Here's what I have done.:

1. I posted ads on craigslist,

2. sent personal mailings to professionals (over a 100) that I was able to find online,

3. I have the listing with the RE broker that's on prem.

4. The lawyers offered to distribute the info at the monthly bar association meetings.

5. I spoke to people in the community about advertising in the local newspaper and they unanimously said newspapers readership of local papers has fallen.

I haven't had any showings in 6 months and the broker tells me that the asking rent is competitive.

I plan to reach out to chamber of commerce tomorrow. What can I do to get the offices rented?

Is the onsite brokerage residential or commercial. Is your listing on Costar...that's where the real commercial stuff is, not Craigslist ir the MLS.
