I share it with my Smart Team members so they can also start the new year strong. It includes things like reminders to update resumes, portfolios, & media kits.

Facebook 'Groups' for my audience but Alignable is closing fast on being one of my favorite connection tools.
For business needs, LinkedIn has always trumped for leads.

First, I would not discount the power of social media - but I do understand there is some aversion to it either in time needed to do it right, lack of knowledge or concern about privacy.
That being said - word of mouth is your most powerful tool but also time consuming at the beginning. Look to see if there is a local professional networking group (before joining - talk to the members as there are some that are not beneficial).
If you are doing a fabulous job do not hesitate to ask your current clients for referrals - just a few contacts you can reach out to that they feel would benefit from your services. See if they would contact them for you first so it is a warm 1st connection versus a cold one. You can even offer a referral gift in the form of a discount or gift card. Best referral gift would be a free service they can give to a friend - that way you might also get a new client!
Hope this helps!
One of my favorite promotional items received was a rubber business card holder for the back of my phone. 🤗 Love it!
Chapstick is also a highly valued item to give that gets longevity from the receiver.
