The idea is to give the impression their page is popular. It might have taken a long time to get that number of likes, if they were prepared to wait for the normal course of events. Let's say, they are starting out in business, and they want to get into profit straight away, that might be a place to start - to let on that your site is very popular! Wonders never cease!
