Yet increasing digital eng agement and sustainability targets have many retailers rethinking whether they should actively distribute these flyers door-to-door. At the same tim e\, retailers are worried about ceasing the distribution of a key marketin g tool and whether digital alternatives are equally effective. This study analyzes grocery retailer Lidl’s decision to retire its print flyer in one province of the Netherlands using household scanner data and a purpose-de signed survey on the adoption of digital alternatives. The results of a sy nthetic difference-in-differences analysis reveal that\, although the same information is available digitally\, households engage in fewer shopping trips and spend less after they stop receiving the print flyer (compared w ith households in other provinces). No specific retailer benefits from the change\; households essentially reallocated purchases to a primary retail er they already visited regularly. Notably\, if households primarily shop at Lidl\, they do not change their shopping behavior. Promoting digital al ternatives cannot offset the negative effect\, because even if households adopt a digital alternative\, they turn away. Overall\, retiring the print flyer may backfire and promoting digital alternatives does not seem effec tive for households that did not adopt them before.\n DTSTART:20250401T143000Z DTEND:20250401T160000Z LOCATION:Room 265\, Donald E.
