[Music] all right so the first unique mechanism example we're going to look at is uh for olive oil and this is a letter that gary benson vega wrote and for mike yuri and it's about how basically an olive oil of the month club so this is a great letter i first i'd heard about it actually a couple years back and then justin goth who's my partner in copy accelerator has used it as a teaching example for a variety of reasons and it's really an awesome letter that i love so much why do i love it
well it's just really hard to make olive oil seem super sexy and yet you know gary found a way to do it so you're gonna have a link to the whole letter and you'll be able to look through this and check it out and it's really great if you look just a headline right announcing a special offer for friends of mike geary from the olive oil hunter if you'll pay just one dollar to help cover my shipping costs i'll send you a complimentary 39 bottle of one of the greatest olive oils i've ever discovered rush

a little bit of the lead too right dear friend of mike geary a major olive oil opportunity is at hand but if you're interested you must act quickly if you'll pay just one dollar to help cover my shipping costs i'll send you with my compliments a 39 bottle of rare fresh pressed olive oil superior to any other oil you've ever tasted it's normally impossible to find it here in america the freshness flavor and health benefits of this just pressed olive oil will astonish you it will utterly blow away any olive oil you can find in
the u.s and that's for one simple reason this is fresh pressed supreme extra virgin olive oil raised here by jet straight from the olive harvest and is independently certified to be 100 pure extra virgin but what's so special about fresh pressed olive oil direct from harvest and why can't you find it in u.s supermarkets for gourmet stores regardless of where you shop do you know that most important the most important secret of how to choose the best tasting extra virgin olive oil it's very simple olive oil unlike wine does not improve of time just the
opposite it's at its peak of nutritional perfection and flavor immediately after it's pressed olives after all are fruit and olive oil is a fruit juice just as if any other fruit juice it's most delicious when fresh pressed and that's when you want to enjoy it but literally but virtually none of the fresh pressed olive oil from italy or any other great olive oil growing country it's a great olive growing country ever make it to our shores the reason is because shipping by air is prohibitively expensive as a result virtually all the olive oils sent to
the us travel here by molasses slow cargo ship adding insult injury many oils are shipped months maybe even a year after pressing moreover olive oil is not shipped as a perishable food to save money producers send it in container ships along with scores of manufactured goods cars machinery whatever and the oils are subject to brutal conditions and worst of all delays there are flavor sapping delays at every port of call on this long ocean voyage while sitting at anchor in the harbor waiting for customs inspections and fda approval before admits then there are further delays
at the docks in trucking transport and in warehouses before eventual distribution to local stores then these oils may sit yet additional weeks months or even years on shelves under fluorescent lights which also destroy flavor and precious perishable nutrients and now you know why the producers of ordinary olive oil sell them if ever print a harvest date sometimes also called the pressing date on their labels sure they will print a best use by date but not the harvest date i suspect they want to extend shelf life as long as possible they realize that savvy all savvy
olive oil lovers prize freshness above all else and they don't want to give you any hint as to how old and stale their oils may be after their tortiously slow journey from overseas to your shopping cart and there is a piece of proof here right i can prove this to you right now if you have a bottle of olive oil in your kitchen pantry please check to see if it has a harvest or pressing date on the label in addition to the best use by date if you bought your oil in a supermarket or gourmet
store i can almost guarantee that it does not have a harvest and since there's almost never harvest state on the label of ordinary olive oil or ordinary olive oils so many of us foodies can be seduced by fancy bottles and pretty labels only to bring home mediocre olive oils whose flavors have faded and dulled and sometimes have even turned rancid so that is i'm ready to get them out of the copy but one of the reasons why is because what i just read after the headline is really the mechanism of the problem right because again
how do you differentiate your olive oil from other people's olive oil you're selling olive oil but you it's not you could argue all oil is a commodity it's on the shelves of every supermarket maybe there's boutique olive oil how do you really kind of make your olive oil stand out that's like the big question right so like i said if you look at the mechanism behind the problem it's what i just read that olive oil unlike wine does not improve of time just the opposite it's at its peak of nutritional perfection and flavor immediately after
it's pressed olives after all are fruit and all of oil is a fruit juice just as with any other fruit juice it's most delicious when fresh pressed and that's when you want to enjoy it i think that alone i love that whole component of alves or being a fruit and just like a fruit juice that's most delicious when fresh pressed that's a great piece of what we call testable proof something that you can do in your head and kind of like think about and be like oh that makes sense the other piece of testable proof
that we saw like i mentioned briefly is the um looking at olive oil in your pantry and how it doesn't have a uh a pressed by date or whatever as like a use by date but not a the date that it was pressed and that's more testable proof that backstopper supports the mechanism so that's what testable proof is so yeah as you look through this right this is what the mechanism behind the problem is what about the mechanism behind the solution well i pulled this from the sales letter and i could have it up but
i'll just kind of show you guys what it is and again you can look at the sales letter to see but if you go through here you'll see there's more copy and stuff like that and this discovery story and things we'll talk about later but as far as the unique mechanism behind the solution goes here it is long story short that's how i founded the fresh pressed olive oil club i realized that if i were willing to break with the tradition of shipping olive oil by slow cargo ship and instead rush it to america by
jet direct from the new harvest of each all of each olive growing country i can be the first to bring authentic fresh pressed oil to foodies here in america all year round four times a year roughly in november february may and august i travel the road stalking the global olive groves to sample hundreds of fresh pressed olive oils right at the peak of their harvest fresh flavor my trusted sources in these faraway olive groves established over my years of globetrotting include hundreds of the finest boutique producers in traditional family-owned estates where oils are proud local
treasures these oils are normally produced in small exclusive batches and reserved for high-end restaurants and a gourmet clientele and their own locales many are the top award winners in regional olive oil competitions they are virtually never shipped to the u.s when i arrive at these harvests the most respected artisanal producers roll out the welcome map for me they know i represent club members who are the most discriminating olive oil aficionados in america and who fully appreciate fresh and exquisitely flavorful oils indeed our club's membership consists of many chefs high-end restaurants and hotels as well as
a wide array of gourmets foodies and health conscious individuals from every walk of life who insist on enjoying and serving their lucky guests the most flavorful and healthiest olive oils on earth our club's demanding reputation precedes me and i usually find myself being treated like a visiting raja the region's top artistic producers bae with one another or vi with one another to bring me dozens of their finest fresh pressed oils to make me smile with pleasure such good coffee from these i choose the three brightest most flavorful oils then i race my newfound treasures at
the peak of their harvest flavor and nutritional goodness to the us by jet plane and then right to your front door by rush delivery the result is that as a club member you get to enjoy what only a tiny handful of americans ever get to experience true fresh pressed olive oil and all its amazing tastes and health benefits rushed to you straight from the latest harvest so that's the mechanism of the solution so do you guys understand how the connection right if the problem is basically that most olive oil takes like you know months or
years to get to you it's shipped in brutal conditions it's not fresh it's not fresh i want to make sure i had a um call that interrupted my headphones for a second i gotta turn my phone on to flight mode but yeah so it's not fresh um anything like that right that's the unique mechanism behind the problem so if that's the problem the solution is to basically break with tradition and rush it to america by jet direct from the new harvest of each all growing country and again this is a can you know a package
consumer good and yeah it makes so much sense you you totally buy the solution now you have to have the problem of being a gourmet or a food lover or somebody who's a lover of olive oil but if you do and you read about the problem then the solution just makes perfect sense to you you're like man i want that too i want the freshest oil and i get it if they're shipping it first of all the quality right he's being more discerning but then he's shipping to buy jet it gets to you faster so
it's really fresh peak harvest all these things that's the mechanism of the solution and the other thing i'll say and i'm going to do some other examples as well but the one thing i'm going to point out here is that you want to what's my point i'm trying to make with this lost my train of thought for a second well if i remember that point i will put it in the next video and i probably will remember that point but um yeah i think this is a good explanation so let's look at some more examples
