Let’s understand it through an example:-

Suppose you have natural detergent products. Since, people are already using best chemical detergent products made by branded companies it is more difficult and challenging to create demand for natural products. Even if demand is created you need to make efforts to sell your own products because there are already your competitors who are trying to sell natural products.  

​

So, this is where outreaching influencers of natural products can make your task easy. These digital influencers operate through blogs, forums, videos and websites to discuss the benefits of natural products. For example why natural products are pollution free, why they are not harmful to skin, how they are degradable and helpful for maintaining earth ecosystem and biodiversity and what are the harmful impacts of using too much chemicals in daily life.

So, the first task of creating demand for natural detergents has made easy by these people and now come to second task of selling. These influencers already have large audience and followers so convincing these people can generate sells for you.
