The best one I've come up with so far is the Christmas Home Tour. I think many cities have these, at least it is popular in many suburbs in Cleveland. Pick the richest city. My only cost was to donate a portrait and even that brought me a commission of the dog. I just learned that over 1500 people walked through the eight homes. Pretty fun way to get 1500 people to actually see your work up close and personal. I have received three calls of interest so far, but no signed contract yet. So I don't know as yet, how this may pay off.

I would love to hear other artists' ideas for marketing.

Many of the marketing ideas mentioned in other threads on the forum would work well. Everything from auctions to advertisting, networking, etc.
