Make sure you sort out opt-out and privacy concerns. Make sure you are aware of the leads that opt out on receiving offers or incentives.

Are there upcoming events in your are that are related to your company? For example, if you deal with real estate, are any wedding shows coming up soon? Newlyweds often are looking for new homes, so try buying a table to let everyone know you're available! Look at the classifieds to see what is in your local community.

Talking with businesses that sell complementary products or services can help generate leads. You could offer to give them tips on office if that is your area of expertise. Personal trainers might lecture on work breaks. Can people in different fields learn from your expertise?
