Everyone doing or considering retouching/restoration as a business has thought about calling local photo businesses (labs, photographers, etc.) and inquiring about perhaps getting work via their shop.
My question is: how would/did you approach this? I'm thinking they might view us as competitors (and they might be right).
Also, would/did you discuss a discount, referall fee, or any other way for them to make money off your service, or were you hoping simply that they'd pass your name along to potential customers?
An afterthought (perhaps I should have made this a poll):
Have you actually called any of your local shops? What happened? (or why haven't you called?)
