Aldi will be placing QR codes on its milk cartons in order to improve and encourage consumers to access their digital brochures. Due to the popularity of Aldi’s milk, the brand will be posting the QR codes on its cartons in an effort to persuade Belgian consumers to flip through its digital pamphlet, as the brand currently hands out over 4.4 million physical copies that cost a hefty price to produce. Due to high costs for print and publication, Aldi has now debuted its digital brochure and is aiming to reach a high percentage of readers.
If Aldi’s digital catalog is proven successful, the brand will begin slowly phasing out its physical copies. However, Aldi assures that its physical print brochures will never fully disappear.
