I started convincing people who are sympathetic towards animal welfare causes, but not willing to go vegan, to stop eating chicken. I have generally had good success arguing friends and family into going vegan, but with some people, even after being theoretically convinced, they think it's "too extreme" or something. This far 3 out of 4 agreed they should/would no longer buy chicken. I might try to add farmed seafood or eggs to that list in the future, although that's probably a harder sell. 

Not entirely related, but I think arguing your positions, including veganism, is often effective. I spent at most a few hours arguing per person I have convinced to change their eating habits. Only counting people I know I think the effect of me going vegan and arguing that position is at least 10x of just my eating vegan. Including people they know it's going to be much higher still.
