The Radio Shopping Show

The Radio Shopping Show is a great way to find deals in the Jackson area! It can be found on 1400 AM WJQS in the Jackson metro area four (non consecutive) hours a day - 9-11, 12-1, and 3-5.

These are the deals I've found: a $25 gift certificate to Fleet Feet for $12.50, a $20 gift certificate to the Sunglasses Shop for $6, a round of golf in Brandon for $3.50, a $60 massage for $8, Cold Stone, Maggie Moo's, Planet Smoothie, and (this may be my favorite), a membership to the Rankin County Chamber of Commerce for $30!

The Radio Shopping Show works on the barter system. Advertisers offer gift certificates, products and services at no cost to the show in exchange for the advertising. So, The Radio Shopping Show profits what they sell the goods and services for and the advertisers have the on-air exposure. There are several "rules" in place that prevent callers from taking advantage of advertisers. For example, you can only purchase one certificate per 30 days per merchant. Ie, you can't call up The Radio Shopping Show and buy all the Chik-fil-A certificates they have available.

It's worth checking out the Shopper's Guide online. This lists all the merchants and the product or services they offer. But you do have to actually call the show during show hours to purchase. Click on The Radio Shopping Show image above to go to the website. Happy listening!
