None. I tried mass mail a long time ago, 3 rounds, no responses. Advertising & marketing is a very expensive black art.

It's also just a bad idea. Legitimate professionals will chalk you up as a spammer, and not want to do business with you. How many folks here with budgets for such things explicitly avoid spammers? I know I do. If you want to gain a positive reputation, the best way to do so is to actually work for it. It can't be purchased and it certainly can't be obtained by email blasting a bunch of random addresses you purchased - but a negative reputation certainly can be obtained in those ways and very quickly, to boot. What you can do is put yourself out there effectively. If you own a data center facility, make sure it's listed on the data center map website. If you provide connectivity, make sure your network has correct information on peeringdb and other sites where folks like us go for information on connectivity providers. If you are providing off-site backups, make sure your website clearly and effectively communicates your pricing model along with the technology used to do so and your testing methodology and frequency, for example, as well. That's the sort of information that legitimate professionals want to see, will search for, and will hence get you good placement within google results (there's no SEO black magic that works, either.) You can of course also purchase advertising space within contexts that your potential customers are likely to visit. Good luck!
