door to door,  got more off neighbours than any other way,  leaflets are good but can be hit and miss

flyers work for the longest as does a website.

so always have some flyers.

Van signage works great ;)

Website & van signwriting have been the most cost effective for me. For quicker results flyers are good & don't break the bank.

You will find different methods work better on certain areas. Try different methods on the areas you want to work and find what works best for you.
