PROJECT HISTORY - RADIO-TV-PRINT MIAMI PILOT
RADIO The "SMART SHOPPER REPORT" using data from the "CONSUMER COMPUTER PRICEWATCH SYSTEM" provided WINZ-AM radio to provide a four-time daily consumer feature to identify retail items at better than normal price levels. The adjacent sponsorships were kept apart from the report content. The "CONSUMER COMPUTER CAR" concept provided exposure for the remote data gathering and highlighted retails with particularly low prices and allowed WINZ-AM radio to create additional remote income revenue..
TV The SMART SHOPPER REPORT allowed WCIX-TV to generate local and regional retail sales revenues by providing the "SHOPATUNITY LOGO" to identify retail items at better than normal price levels using the CONSUMER COMPUTER pricewatch analysis.
PRINT The CONSUMER COMPUTER REPORT allowed The Miami Herald to provide well-priced menu plans and a daily column to identify consumer products designed to provid "More Bang for the Buck".
These were the basis for the creation of US Government-funded programs under various names including "BETTER BUYER", "SMART SHOPPER", "MORE BANG FOR THE BUCK", "SHOPATUNITY", and others.

CONSUMER PROGRAM ADVANTAGES
WHY THE PROGRAM IS FAR BETTER THAN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS A BARGAIN FROM AVAILABLE LOCAL ADVERTISING
The average newspaper advertising contains over 28,000 items. Add to this the fact that ads change weekly and it is virtually impossible to remember from week to week, much less to remember which store and you have a good reason why a computer can do it better.

This is consumer expert Mike Scott with your SHOPATUNITY REPORT for TODAY WEDNESDAY JANUARY 3.
The new year is always a good time to start thinking about home improvements. After the big flurry of holiday promotions, stores try to move inventory and offer discounts to start the year off. There are plenty of these offers all over the area.
Flooring specials are a SHOPATUNITY today. The Flooring Center Orlando on Lake Destiny Drive, and Rug King in Sanford both offered specials The short week following New Years prompts stores to claim a 4 day traffic building incentive. Flooring Headquarters Warehouse has a 4 days only offer in thatgroup.
The year’s end is sometimes tough on retailers and brings plenty of store closings decisions. Festival Bay Mall’s Book Warehouse and Casselberry’s Boca Bargoons are lowering prices as they close those locations.
Banks continue to promote Interest rates for equity loans. Harbor Federal is at 6.79%.
That’s it for today’s SHOPATUNITY’s. Look for the mobile Consumer Computer Mitsubishi when you go shopping. We track the bargains with it’s computers all over the Central Florida area.
