Argos is to stop printing product catalogues after almost 50 years.
The British retailer’s catalogue was once found in three quarters of British homes but has dwindled in popularity in recent years.
Why has Argos catalogue been axed?
Argos has printed over one billion copies since the catalogues initially launched in 1973.
And at its absolute height, only the bible overtook in owned copies in the UK.
But over the last decade, annual printed issues declined from 10 million to just three million.
And Argos has said it will now scrap the publication all together.

Online and app shopping has replaced the need for printed catalogues, they argue.
And at Argos stores and kiosks digital screens have already replaced the catalogue.
