I´ve had difficulties in breaking in to this area and would like tips on how I can get doors to open for me.

I'd like to target smaller, independent companies in the tourism and hospitality industry but have found they are more likely to use a translation agency because they require the same text translated in 3/4 languages, for their brochures for example, or a marketing communications company that can provide a complete service including copywriting, translation and printing. I'm considering teaming up with some colleagues to offer a multi-lingual service and possibly collaborating with a copywriter and printing company to offer the complete package when needed. Has anyone tried this strategy? Was it worth the effort?

A general approach on a topic that many esteem as "easy translation" and accept peanuts for it. How to present to a client that touristic translation includes Marketing, literary, advertising and technical translation, not to speak about a possible legal part? And therefore should have an according price.
