    MARKETING 
    In the meantime, I've found influence.co which has a ton of microand nano influencers on their platform. I've also found offers on Fiverr to discover nano influencers... I'm going to gently explore the Fiverr and Upwork approaches and see what they are all about.

I love the breathability of the cotton, and the foam core keeps the futon comfortable even after the cotton is packed down some...
