How to find off market deals other than utlizing direct mailers?

[Keither Perry]

I've used the direct mailer approach to find off market deals, but in this competitive environment everybody is doing that. Therefore I wanted to know what other ways are their to find these deals?

@Keither Perry Are there people making a killing using direct mail in your area? If yes, then it's your mailers, not direct mail. 

You can do simple A/B testing, where you send half your list one piece (A) and the other half another piece (B), then see which one has a higher response rate. 

Continue to change your direct mail until you have the response rate you want. 

Direct mail is used because it works, don't try to reinvent the wheel.
