`In less than turo years. shop
`shows have attracted an audience
`or 50 million daily viewers. who
`bought $450 million oi goods in
`1986. This year. sales are project-
`ed to exceed $2 billion. The aver-
`age shopper spends more than
`$500 a year on 15 purchases.
`Competition is keen. About 25
`shows — most clones oi the popu-
`lar pioneer. Home Shopping Net»

`the country. The shop phenome-
`non. originally geared to cable
`television. has now moved to the
`mainstream. WJW-Channel

`Monday.
`All shop shows operate the
`same way: Items are displayed.

`ed. and viewers may order by
`calling toll4ree numbers and us-
`lng credit cards or checks as
`payment. Most shows otter mon-
`ey-back guarantees ii merchan-
`dise is returned within 30 days.
`For some fonts. watching the
`shows is a diversion. They tune in

`in a recent look at the trend.
`ABC's news ieaiure show 20/20
`found a number of viewers who
`have run up huge credit-card
`hills. Some shoppers admitted to
`being addicted. spending hours
`glued to the tube. plastic cards
`ready. One Woman was “afraid to
`leave the house for {ear of miss
`ing a bargain."

`When the shows began. most of
`the merchandise was diacontin-
`ued. marked-down items. Much
`still

`was soon retail. $375 on televi-
`sion. Not all merchandise has a
`big price tag, however. Figu-
`rines. leather clusters and the like
`
`are under 510.
`How can shoppers be sure
`they‘re getting a bargain? The
`only way to be certain is to com-
