Program

🎯 theme: The Impact of (Digital) Leaflet Communication on Consumer Behavior

ELMA has commissioned the most comprehensive attitudinal study among consumers across Europe to understand what they really think of and really do with leaflets they receive in their homes. This unique and fascinating research will be unveiled for the first time at the International Doordrop Congress.

Retiring the Store Flyer: Effects of Ceasing Print Store Flyers on Household Grocery Shopping Behavior

Increased digital engagement has led several retailers to reconsider whether they should continue distributing flyers door-to-door. Yet dropping a key marketing tool may backfire if consumers don’t adopt the digital alternative. In this study, I analyzed Lidl’s decision to stop delivering its print flyer in one Dutch province, using detailed information on household purchases and survey responses on digital adoption. Comparing shopping behavior in Utrecht with that in other provinces where the flyer was still distributed, the findings suggest that shifting away from print can hurt retailer performance and raises doubts about whether digital alternatives can fill the gap.

GfK (a NiQ company) conducted an in-depth study on the impact of leaflets among Belgian consumers. This research, commissioned by BD Media, offers a fresh perspective on how consumers today engage with both printed and digital leaflets. The study went beyond simply measuring usage – such as browsing behavior – and explored the actions consumers take as a result, their appreciation of the printed medium, and their perceptions of digital alternatives and other forms of media. For the first time, a qualitative component was added to the existing quantitative research. In addition to the large-scale survey, insights were further enriched through an online community, where participants were able to share their experiences and opinions in greater depth.

In this inspirational session, BD Media and Accurat combine their expertise to highlight the power of unaddressed print as a strong and relevant media channel – because unaddressed is not unnoticed!

Leen Dehantschutter will share BD Media’s strategic vision on the role of door-to-door communication in Belgium’s increasingly digital landscape.
Bart Muskala demonstrates how data and impact measurement provide clear evidence of the medium’s effectiveness – from reach to behaviour.

Why do customers choose this offer and not that? Which role to prices play? In this keynote, Kai will show that price and value are arbitrary associations between a product and a number. He will reveal how this association can be influenced using behavioral science, for instance with smart anchoring, bundling products, or designing choice architectures. He will also show what brain scans and other subconscious measures have revealed about the value perception of customers and sellers. Finally, Kai will present a few recent and still unpublished exciting findings from his latest research. Join this interactive keynote to understand valuable profit levers which you can apply right away the next day after the Congresss.
