There are many more things apart this like for link building you can do directory submission, target the right keywords, search engine submission, article submission, regular on social media or social bookmarking, participation in forums, blog commenting and more.

Article Marketing, Squidoo lenses, Forums Quality back links etc. etc. Your ranking on Google is what is holding you back. Currently ranked 135

My take on this is to continue what you're already doing.
Try some of the suggestions given in the answers to your question,
I can see some good ones.

What I can suggest additionally is to try a viral tool like the
one below.

When you say "SEO done" - are you position 1 for EVERY keyword relevant to your business, products and services?

When you say "press releases done" - I have never heard of you, so definitely more scope there! (Please don't take offence from that!)

When you say "social media done" - I hope you mean you have over 1 million followers on twitter and 1 million likes on Facebook?

It sounds like you have a good strategy - but just o more of what works, and use google analytics to discover that!

Very much along the lines of Marks answer - most of the things you have mentioned are marketing and marketing is never 'done'. You wouldn't see Coca Cola say "TV Advertising - done", now what shall we do?

Apart from changing the status of each on your list to "ongoing" also think about taking your clothes to market as well as trying to bring the market to you. So, for example, are you on Google Shopping, Thefind, ebay, Amazon, etc, etc.
