the thing that has consistently worked for us is attending Venture Capital Seminars. they are usually from 50-150 dollars to attend and most people there are looking for money to start a business.
the results are not immediate, but if you make a good impression, and give them something nicely made to take with them, they will remember you when they receive funding and need web/marketing services.
we made 8x3 printed portfolio cards which we put inside really nice envelopes with a cool sticker across the outside. it was clean, simple, and the business dudes go nuts over that stuff.
if you have an iphone, put your demo reel on it. when you're walking around doing the meet n greet and someone asks what you do, tell them a bit about your company and ask them if they'd like to see some work you've done, whip out your phone and show your reel.
dress cool. don't be a spaz. most of the people you want to hit up are the middle-age older guys. not the young ones. don't network with young people if you want to make serious money.
