currently i’m contacting homeowners via direct mail, i have some bandit signs out, and i’ve also been contacting agents direct to form networking relationships. i’m also currently working on SEO for my web site to help the online marketing area of my business.
what are some other effective methods to use? i’m mostly interested in cheap/free methods…
thanks in advance!
