Some products are so “cool” and fun to use that it’s obvious how to market them. If you sell makeup – use Instagram influencers. If you sell baked goods, then create videos showing you making and eating them.
For commodity products, however, it can be hard to give consumers a good reason why they should buy your product over anyone else’s.
