The History Of Marlboro Lights
The First 10 Years - Key Competitors
Camel Lights
At the time of the introduction of Camel Lights in 1978, the Camel brand was in serious decline. The Lights extension was successful in reversing the share trend.
• The less harsh flavor allowed more consumers to enjoy the Camel experience
• The franchise expanded to include younger adult smokers, although it retained its male appeal
Merit
Merit was launched in 1976, resulting in a boom in the low tar category.
• The low tar category increased by 81 % from 1975 to 1976
• Merit was introduced with a $20 Million campaign declaring the revolutionary flavor breakthrough
• The largest amount spent on an introduction since the re-launch of Marlboro in the 1950s
• Supplemented with a massive sampling effort
Merit's initial appeal was wide spread
• Men and women
• Younger and older smokers
