@gracebeverley If you comment ‘woman’ and I’ll send you the sign up link for the restock I’ve been working on for months. Essentially, when we launched Superwoman in November I completely underestimated the response. Watching it sell out so quickly was surreal, especially because this was never about manufactured scarcity, it was simply a case of us putting in a big test order but still not ordering enough stock. The part that really got me was the messages afterwards. Hearing from so many women who said the product had genuinely changed their lives but knowing we could not restock quickly because of how long proper production takes, was a business owner's nightmare. So this is me officially saying the mistake has been corrected and the spreadsheets have been triple checked. Superwoman is finally restocking on Thursday 26th February (tomorrow!!) and this time we have planned ahead, including opening a limited number of subscriptions for those of you who never want to deal with a sell out panic again, thank you for bearing with us 🫶🏻 As always I want to make it very clear that this is a supplement made up of ingredients that have personally helped me, everyone’s journey is different and I’d urge you to find out what works for you. The intention behind creating this with the team we did was to provide more options for women like me, particularly more cost effective multi-ingredient options for people who want women's wellness supps. It’s important to note there is no cure to PCOS and this is not intended to be one, this is just intended to create a multi ingredient solution for anyone who wants to take these supplements daily. Disclaimer: As with all supplements, Shreddy Superwoman is not intended to treat or cure any medical condition. It is a supplement and NOT a medicine!! Individual experiences will vary & please see a doctor always as a first port of call!

Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Catastrophic Success Story

To build overwhelming desire for a product by framing its launch story around a central 'mistake': underestimating demand so severely that it sold out instantly. This narrative uses the resulting customer frustration as powerful social proof, creating massive hype for the product's return.

  1. 1

    The Personal Problem Origin Story

    Establish the 'why' behind the product by detailing a deeply relatable personal struggle that the product was created to solve. This builds empathy and authenticates the need.

  2. 2

    The Hero's Quest for a Solution

    Document the extensive research, effort, and expertise that went into developing the solution. This builds credibility and establishes the creator as a dedicated authority.

  3. 3

    The High-Stakes Launch

    Build anticipation by describing the lead-up to the product's initial release, emphasizing the investment and uncertainty to create narrative tension.

  4. 4

    The Catastrophic Success

    Reveal the core conflict: the product was so successful it sold out almost instantly, exposing the 'mistake' mentioned in the hook (failure to anticipate demand and prepare for a restock).

  5. 5

    The Consequence & Mounting Pressure

    Validate the product's value through overwhelming social proof. Showcase a flood of positive reviews followed by messages of customer frustration about the stockout, turning a negative situation into a powerful testament to the product's desirability.

  6. 6

    The Resolution & Date Drop

    Release the narrative tension by announcing the long-awaited solution: a specific restock date. This provides a clear payoff for the viewer's emotional investment in the story.

  7. 7

    The Value Proposition Deep Dive

    Transition from emotional storytelling to logical justification. Break down the product's specific features, components, or ingredients to prove why it generated such intense demand.

  8. 8

    The Irresistible Offer

    Stack additional value onto the product by presenting a compelling cost/benefit analysis (e.g., price comparison) and introducing a new, convenient way to purchase (e.g., a limited subscription).

Transcript

Few months ago, I would say I made a bit of a mistake. One that is literally rule one of business school, which I never went to, which might explain things. So back in November, we launched probably my favorite supplement no date. It's called Superwoman, and it was essentially a selfish project because my hormones were ruining my life. I was exhausted all the tier, my skin was breaking out, the brain fog just kept getting worse, and I was constantly told just to go on the pill or to lose weight, but neither of those things actually addressed the root cause. And I felt like all of these symptoms were my body screaming at me, but I couldn't worst out what to do about it. So I researched obsessively, I scoured studies, I spoke to experts, I changed my nutrition, started paying a lot of attention to my lifestyle, caffeine, alcohol, 10,000 steps a day, yada bad yada and started taking some incredible supplements. And I started seeing great results, but what I really wanted to do was to develop a daily formula with all of these supplements that were backed by research for women's wellness and would mean that I wasn't spending hundreds of pounds a month and taking eight pills a day. And from this point, it took us about a year to nail the product. So we put all the effort into the launch. We knew there was an audience for the product in my DM, but we didn't know how big. So we put in a test order. And by the way, that test order was 5 figures of units. So I was a little bit scared and launch week rolled around. But even after building this business for nearly ten years, I honestly didn't expect the response we got. It sold out so fast and then it was good. Not because we wanted it to be better because we hadn't thought to put a restock order in before we launched and the ingredients are all really specialist no it's not a quick production process. Meanwhile we started getting more and more unbelievable reviews in from people who said that the product did all of these things for them, which has been so affirming that we started to realize that they wouldn't be able to rebuy it instantly. So we kept everyone waiting. And let me tell you, the Best started out nice, and now they're getting aggressive, which is understandable because people want it bad. And we finally got a date for a restock. It's the February 26. So in case you've forgotten or you didn't get your hands on it the first time round, let's talk about what's actually inside. Starting off strong, there's four thousand milligrams of myo inositol alongside six hundred milligrams of no Acetyl L cysteine or NAC for short and one hundred milligrams of CoQ10, the women's wellness triple threat. They're the ones spinning a lot of plates when it comes to your body's systems and are commonly studied in clinical research related to women's wellness, which is pretty astounding given there is so little research on women's wellness generally anywhere. Then you've got two point five milligrams of rank to support normal skin fertility, cognitive and immune function. Forty milligrams of chromium, the big one when it comes to good, metabolism and blood sugar balance. Two hundred micrograms of folate which contributes to the reduction of timeness of tier. Fifty five micrograms of selenium for your hair, skin, nails and thyroid, and last but not least vitamin d for your bones and immune system. Basically sunshine in a different form for those of us who aren't lucky enough to get it every day. All of that in one glass that you only have to take once a day in a delicious apple and blackcurrant flavour. And if you bought all of these separately, good a month. So now Superwoman is finally coming bad. We've even got enough stock control to open a subscription service, but only for the first 1,000 people who want to make sure that they don't have the restock worries again. Let's just say I will be doing everything in my power to not make that mistake again better it is hard when we have been getting this many DMs about the product no make sure to sign up to early access if you want to get your hands on it or bag a subscription.
