KCII Radio is presenting a two-day Home Shopping Special Edition starting at 9 a.m. Tuesday. On Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to noon and 1-5 p.m. listeners can call in to make purchases live on the air. Gift certificates to area businesses will be available at discounted rates for the listener and is a way to help support local businesses. Types of businesses participating include shops, golf courses, salons, car services, restaurants, and more. Find a full list of items click here. To make a purchase during the event call 653-4513.

KCII General Manager Joe Nichols shares this is a good opportunity for area businesses and their customers, “One of the things that I’ve been hearing is they want to find ways to get maybe gift certificates in people’s hands so that when they’re able to fully reopen those customers can come in. And help our clients by also getting them some advertising to use to tell people what they’re doing right now, how they’re operating, and you know give them that opportunity to tell people what they’re doing and invite them into their business. And it’s also a great thing for the listeners and their customers. You know it has been a struggle for some, there are some people who are fortunate they’ve been able to continue to work, but others haven’t. So, having an opportunity to get some of these items with their local businesses at a discounted price we feel is going to be helpful for the consumer out there.”

People will have the option for a no-contact delivery of certificates by either mailing in a check or paying by card over the phone, and then KCII staff will mail the certificates directly to you. Items can also be picked up Friday and Saturday outside of the KCII Radio office in downtown Washington.
