What is your process for soliciting these studios? Phonecalls, emails, random office visits, leavebehinds, etc?
From experience I think the best thing you can do is to just show them you're interested. Always make sure you followup with a phone call - and at the very least an email (although I think tangible proof of existence like hearing someones voice, or finding a leavebehind always makes a much bigger impact than an email).
And if they don't return your calls the first time well, persistence is ever a virtue. Just because they didn't call you back right away doesn't mean they're not interested either - sometimes they just get too busy (not really an excuse or the most professional thing to do but it happens.)
Just keep at them. Someone will bite.
Your work is solid I should think you would be valuable to someone somewhere.- Persistence is key; email is shit... be physical... call at the very least... walk in and say hi...ideaist
