How to sell your Premium Olive Oil
In the best places in the world
You make a lot of efforts to make premium olive oil, from the olive tree to the bottling you have to make sure that the processes are respected. In order for your work and your olive oil to be recognized you take part at many competitions to win gold medals.To meet customers you go to international fairs to present your work, your history, your products to buyers.
And despite all of this, It’s very difficult to value your products because thousands of brands are also trying to do the same thing.
Our companies have been trading internationally for over 15 years.We sell agri-food products to restaurants, palaces and international fairs in the entire world.
We decided 5 years ago to focus on the sale of premium olive oil from the producer to the consumer whether they are customers, restaurants, palaces, airport stores etc.
To achieve this we have invested a lot time and efforts that we summarized here in 9 steps:
Step 1
We created one of the world’s best olive oil competition in the world’s most luxurious place :
Dubai.
Which are the best olive oils in the world ? That's the question that everyone is asking, So we created this competition to find out what are the best olive oils , we gathered the best juries in the world so they can test each of the oils that had participated and determine which will get the gold medal and which will get the silver medal.
For each winner we created publications and videos to share on the networks
Step 2
We put online 700 presentation pages of the best olive oil brands and brought them together in the same website.
Presentation Page
When you win a competition, the first thing that buyers want to do is to go to your website to know your story, your brand, to see your videos and publications and especially to find your contact details.
Finding a website from a photo or a name is very complicated. with these presentation pages, in just 1 click buyers can have access to all your information on a single page , automatically translated into their original languages.
Step 3
We opened the Best Olive Oils Stores
We tried to make the premium olive oil store as luxurious as possible, in order to get feedback from customers and to find out what interest them most.
And the returns after 1 year are incredible, people are passionate about olive oils, 90% of people who enter the shop want a good quality of olive oil but they don’t know where they can buy it from.
With olive oils for daily consumption, customers also want to buy olive oils with a nice packaging to offer the bottle, as they would offer a bottle of wine.
In addition to simple customers, we also had many chefs and restaurateurs who wish to have the opportunity to buy olive oils in larger quantity (5 liters)
Many organic stores, have also explained to us that is very difficult to find a good quality of organic oils available for sale all year long.
Step 4
We set up the largest E-commerce website for Premium Olive Oil
Covid showed us that online sales are important, when the stores were shutting down, online sales were increasing.
We will make several million annual connections on our websites.
Thanks to our partnership with DHL we can deliver worldwide in 24 to 72 hours for a very low transport cost.
1) If the customer buys online one or more bottles of the same brand, then you will deliver them directly.
2) If the customer buys bottles of different brands, then we will group the bottles and send them to customers.
3) If the customer buys directly from the store, depending on the number of sales, we will increase our stock of the best selling brands.
Step 5
Create the Best Olive Oils Packaging
Once we know that we sell the best olive oils in the world, what makes the difference is the packaging.
The prettier the packaging is, the more the value of the bottle increases.
Many customers tell us that they would like to offer a bottle of olive oil as well as a bottle of wine.
Because just like wine, after offering the bottle there is tasting, discovering the flavour and the smell as well as sharing the story.
Step 6
Developing social networks
Social networks are today the most effective way to be well known to millions of people.
Today’s influencers, are yesterday’s salespeople, with a video, a photo or a publication, it instantly causes an interest to hundreds of thousands of people.
We partner with influencers who have the most interesting communities for our work (healthy food, organic, sport, culinary food)
Through simple publications and videos, we can bring hundreds of thousands of people interested in olive oils to our websites, so that they discover your presentation pages and buy your bottles.
Making Photo Shooting with models in gourmet restaurant multiplies by 5 the number of interaction
Step 7
We are meeting chefs from all over the world
Chefs are the fastest way to market oils in the best restaurants.
We tested the oils of the biggest palace in Dubai and very often the oils were defective.
During our competitions we offer anonymous samples to many chefs, once the results are released we provide them with the names of the winners so that they can order directly from the brands.
Most chefs are not experts in olive oil, but they fully understand the differences in taste when it flavors their dishes.
Step 8
International fairs
GULFOOD AND FANCY FOOD SHOW
GREECE
Fancy Food Show, Anuga, Gulfood, Sial, Alimentaria etc... International fairs are very important to make olive oil brands well known and to find new customers.
We will create stands , where will be gathered all the brands that we market, we will group them by country, and we will have translators speaking English, Chinese, German, French, Arabic in order to negotiate and explained directly with the customers who are interested.
Step 9
Open franchise best olive oils stores all over the world
Premium olive oils are very easy to sell to customers
Opening stores in the most beautiful capital is very important for several reasons:
- This allows customers see physically the bottles before purchasing them
- It also allows us to have a storage location to deliver olive oils sold online even faster
We already have several hundred franchisees waiting for the end of covid to open the stores

| Why you didn't start selling online earlier ? | Thanks to Dubai Olive Oil Competition,we were able to gather very quickly the best olive oils of the world, however many brands were not ready for international marketing, some want to make a new packaging, a new website, translate their documentation into English, others simply do not have a stock or their production was already reserved. Furthermore, most of our emails end up in the spam, and the producers often become aware of the emails after many weeks. Finally, there are also producers who only wanted to win a medal and who do not want to promote their oils. All of this has caused us to delay, even though we have been ready since 2 years. |

| I want to sell directly in your stores | As you have seen the website allows us to know with precision which bottles are the most searched and in which place, the stores are expensive to operate, your products are rare and the goal is not to use the stores as a place of storage but as a place of sale and for direct contact with the consumers. All this information allows us to select the most searched oils in the consuming countries in order to put them in the stores where there will either have the most of sales or sales with the greatest added value. The web site is therefore an essential step before the marketing in the stores but we have been ready for 2 years and every month we have new franchisee who wants to open a best olive oils store. |
