"constituents as possible" is not a unit of meaning. It's "as many ... as possible".

core: central, most typical

constituent: a member of a constituency
constituency: a group or body that patronizes, supports, or offers representation
patronize: to go to regularly as a customer

Hence, they want to reach as many people as possible who are within the group that consists of the most typical customers who regularly buy that kind of product.
