Reducing image size and number of frames will be most effective by far.

GIF can encode only difference between frames, so you can also try to reduce size of the area of the image that changes, i.e. have as much unchanged/non-moving background as you can (pixels must remain completely identical between frames, even slight temporal noise will still take space in the file).

And finally, optimize the file with gifsicle (GUI).

edit: I've created lossy gif compressor: kornel.ski/lossygif and added it as an option to ImageOptim. Usually it reduces GIF sizes by 50%.
