🎯 THEME: THE IMPACT OF (DIGITAL) LEAFLET COMMUNICATION ON CONSUMER BEHAVIOR

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.

Start networking with your peers from all over the world and enjoy a beautiful lunch.

With a background in on- and offline communication, marketing and facilitating trainings in personal leadership, Malou brings aliveness and a lot of energy on stage to make this International Congress a success. She will be the host of the day.

During the last year, Spotta has digitalized their business model through its sustainable platform ‘InMijnBus:’ a registration platform where households can submit their YES or NO preference to receive a Spotta leaflet package. InMijnBus offers households the opportunity to opt for the leaflet package that has been specifically put together for their neighbourhood or a personally chosen leaflet package. By introducing InMijnBus to the general public. Spotta aims to make leaflet distribution smarter and more sustainable. Spotta is therefore switching from unsolicited unaddressed print distribution, to desirable addressed leaflet packages assembled for individual neighbourhoods or self-composed leaflet packages by households.
