Birth of an Indian Super brand
A vision to provide truly home grown writing instrument for each occasion to each individual gave birth to brand Luxor in 1963 - India’s first writing instrument brand. Luxor brand was built on the fledging nation’s desire to be seen as self-reliant. Luxor pioneered fibre-tip technology fine liners in 1975 and subsequently roller-ball pens in India and stylised them to meet the diverse requirements of varied market segments. Luxor was not only the first Indian manufacturer to introduce high-tech markers for various applications, but had also invented Dry Safe Ink Markers – so that these special pens could be left uncapped for hours without the ink being dried up.
Celebrity Endorsement
If style is the man, the craft of fine writing comes naturally. To bring home the point even more effectively, Luxor set the trend for celebrity endorsement in the '60s – signing up movie stars, sportsmen and other famous personalities to promote the Luxor range of writing instruments. Most of these were not paid endorsements though, as star-appeal was not the be-all factor in the early days of mass advertising. . Luxor’s Ad campaigns of the early years stated: For the first time in India, and the “hit home” approach went well with Indian consumers – laying the foundation for Luxor’s exponential growth in the '70s and '80s.
A Big Leap
By the early '80s, the Indian market had become immensely sophisticated and the time was ripe for launching new products with persuasive brand messages. Taking advantage of this trend, the Luxor brand launched its range of 'gloliters' and 'markers' with a high-decibel advertising campaign, encouraging its consumers to 'Stop Underlining, Start Gloliting'. Since then, strong brand positioning and celebrity endorsement have played a key role in the Luxor’s growth. Luxor has supported every new launch with highly visible and energetic marketing efforts.
