Get gift certificates to area businesses at a discounted rate on KCII’s Home Shopping Special Edition. The special on-air event will be on KCII Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to noon and 1-5 p.m.

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.”

Certificates can be picked up in a couple of different ways this time, “We’re going to offer mailing the certificates. So, you can send us a check for the items, and we’ll mail the certificates to you. Pay with a credit card over the phone and we’ll mail the certificates to you. And if weather is cooperating enough, we may do a pickup at the station but outside instead of everybody coming into the office and standing in a small space. We’ll keep social distancing. So, weather-permitting, we’re hoping to be able to also offer kind of a curbside pickup, if you will.”
