BRAND OVERVIEW
Levi Strauss & Co is an American clothing company
known worldwide for its Levi's brand of denim
jeans.Its other products include tailored slacks,
jackets, hats, shirts, skirts, and belts, and it licenses
the manufacture of novelty items. The company is
headquartered in San Francisco.
Jacob, being a tailor, is the inventor of blue jeans. He used
rivets to make the jeans more sturdy—an unusual step. In
1872, Davis wrote to Levi, who was at that time, his fabric
supplier, for help in getting a patent for his invention—the
riveted blue jeans. They decided to become business partners,
and together, they got the patent in 1873.
Sales took a significant turn during the California gold rush. The
demand for the product became too great for the company as

HISTORY
they were still operating from a room in the small factory
managed by Davis on Fremont Street.
So, in 1877, the Levi Strauss & Co. factory decided to expand as
they grew bigger. They further reinforced Levi’s jeans’ notable
features of the rivets, dark-blue denim, the stitching, and the
guarantee of quality. Therefore, the company’s jeans became
worn in the rough-and-tumble ranches and mines of the West.
In 1886, they used the “two-horse” leather patch to symbolize
the strength of the Levi clothing, and till today, the company
continued to grow its significance.
Logo & it’s significance
The Levis logo is called Batwing because
it has a similar shape. It can be visually
divided into two symmetrical parts with
side corners (top and bottom).
Semicircular cutouts add similarities
with the wing of a bat.

and power. It also aligns with confidence,
nobleness, and endurance. Levi’s used two
horses that were pulling its pair of jeans in
the opposite directions. The message is

Evolution of the logo

The debut version was very simple and contained only the
name, composed of the name and surname of the owner. It is
written in a narrow rectangle, supplemented with the
logogram “&” and the letter “C,” denoting the word
“company.”

background. strength of the goods.
This period is legendary in the history of the logo because the era
of the abbreviated name of the company formed on behalf of the
founder’s name has begun. They became the word “Levi’s.”

After World War II, the logo changed color by placing


white lettering on a red-orange background.

During this period, the emblem received a wide substrate, dark


letters, and the inscription “America’s finest overall.” The
phrase is made in capital letters and is located below.
This is one of the iconic periods: it was then that the brand red color
appeared on the label. In addition to the short company name, the label
also has the phrase “Vintage clothing,” written in a simple, simple, sans-
serif font.

In 1968, the original logo form was introduced into use – in the form of
spreading bat wings. It shows the name of the manufacturer. The letters are
elongated, in upper case, except “e,” which is made lowercase.

Changes made during this period are minimal. The developers intensified
the color to dark red and reduced the height of the letters.
In 2011, Turner Duckworth’s agency designers reviewed some details of the
logo and adapted it to the present. For better identification, they “cut off”
the brand symbol because there was not enough space on the label. Thanks
to this, the recognizable shape of the logo in the form of a bat, along with
the text, was preserved. But the visual changes from the 2003 Levis logo
are almost invisible.

PLACE
Levis is a global entity that is divided geographically into three
divisions namely Levi-Strauss America, Levi-Strauss Africa, Middle
East and Europe, Levis-Strauss Asia-Pacific.

In order to make its product a household name the company


realized that it must make its product visible and easily accessible.
Therefore, the brand organized a well-controlled and systematized
distribution channel.

The company has upgraded all its distributive centers and increased
the sales channel because they wanted to move faster than their
rivals did in this competitive market. At present Levis Jeans can be
purchased from any good retail outlet as well as from the various
shopping malls.

Internet has become one of the major selling options for the
company. It has an official website where purchasing the product is
an easy process as the consumers can go through the various color
and designs at their own convenience. The home delivery option
through this medium is also a bonus for the busy consumers.
PRICE
The pricing strategy of every company is very
important, as the customers want the best goods at the
lowest possible prices. Levis has kept a price
discrimination policy for all its products that are
available in different countries. The selling price varies
in each country because of its costing in the local
atmosphere and because of various political and social
influences.
The company does not allow flexibility in its prices to
maintain its image of exclusivity. Therefore, the
products are sold at the listed price that has already
being fixed by the head office. Their pricing policy is
influenced not by the competitors but by various other
factors like costing, market affordability and demand
for the product. Levis’s frequently offers some catchy
discounts and freebies for the student market:
Student discounts of 20%
Free shipping and alteration
Price range from low to high to make it affordable
The company does not compromise with the quality or
with the prices of its products because it is confident of
its loyal consumers.
PROMOTION
Levis has adopted a cool and trendy promotional strategy for
marketing their products. In order to increase the visibility of its
products the company has taken the help of active advertisement. It
has gone with the concept of off- beat commercials thatare shown in
various television channels, in newspapers, billboards and fashion
magazines. The company has been introducing new products at
regular intervals like the reversible jeans that have helped them in
gaining continuous limelight.
Levis has a comprehensive and effective strategy that includes the
participation of major celebrities. In India, it has roped in Priyanka
Chopra, Deepika Padukone and Akshay Kumar as its brand
ambassadors.
Levis has been using the method of competitive advertising to promote
its products. Now days the brand has been going for eye catching and
innovative ideas that will leave an impact and an everlasting
impression on the customer.
Internet has also become a good promotional ground for the Levis
products as the consumers find it easy to go through the various
available portals.
