How a 500,000-Person Influencer Army Built China's Best-Selling Baby Brand

Placeholder. China's best-selling diaper/vitamin brand isn't Pampers or Huggies — it's built on 500,000+ micro-influencers instead of traditional retail or a handful of big-name endorsers.

What we've found so far: Nuttrend (诺特兰德) sells '9.9 RMB' products via livestream, doing 10-20x the Douyin sales of Tomson Beijian and Swisse combined; 70%+ of its affiliated creators have under 100K followers each.

Open research: Get transaction-level data on creator payout structure; compare to Western micro-influencer models (are Western brands starting to copy this?); check if this model exists in other Chinese product categories beyond diapers/vitamins.
