Seeding at volume
Getting a product into many relevant hands and letting honest, first-hand posts accumulate — useful for early-stage brands building a first layer of proof.
Nano creators — often under 10,000 followers — are the closest thing influencer marketing has to word of mouth. Their reach is small. Their credibility, within that reach, is unusually high.
