We recently shared the benefits of investing in “influencer marketing,” or creating meaningful relationships with food bloggers after my trip to BlogHer Food in Miami.

We think of creating relationships with food bloggers as “influencer marketing,” and here are five reasons why fresh produce marketers should consider aligning themselves with these powerful brand ambassadors.
