I starting out on an art business. It's new so i don't have many reviews or followers. I want to reach out to small businesses in my community ( bakeries, clothing stores, mom and pop shops, etc. ) to basically create art that they would display ( i'd like it to be front and center, pretty much in their window ) for customers to see and share. We would then share this collaboration on our socials. Thereby, creating some amount of traffic for the both of us. I am not attached to the idea of needing to be paid at this point.

What i want to know is how i go about this. How do i start that conversation? What would the first email look like telling them about this? How would i reach out and make it so they want to continue the conversation and hopefully agree to start this collab? What should i say? Is there a template to follow?Any advice on how to go about this?
