I am thinking about opening a studio(in addition to location work), and would like to know if you offer anything in your studio's besides your photography. Frames, Scrappbooking stuff, ect...
I live in a very small town 5500 people. We are a tourist town, so it makes sense to have souvenier type things to buy, since the location will be downtown right where there is so much foot traffic. I don't want the "stuff" to get in the way or take away class, but if there was a unique or great idea out there, I would love to know about it. Any ideas??? Thanks

Keep it all photography related. You can make a killing off of the accessories. If there are picture frames with the town or state's name, that'd be the kind of tourist orientated merchandise you'd want.

I say, try to get some deals with local arts\crafts stores, not sure how you would do this (lol)
And then maybe just have a few of every size, and offer to add a frame for $__ ($5 more than you paid for the frame, or maybe even the same price just to be nice\convenient for the person)

Maybe to get a deal with art stores, you can offer to somehow advertise them a bit? (Have a poster in the studio,)
