You may have noticed a “Watch” icon next to any wine listing in the Vinfolio wine store or Marketplace. This is part of our new Wine Watcher alert program which replaces Vinfolio wine alerts.
Wine Watcher alerts allow you to track individual wines or all wines in a group selected by search criteria such as your current bids, a saved search, or by keywords and see activity on the resulting wine(s) in the Vinfolio wine store and/or Marketplace. Create as many individual alerts as you like. They will be all combined into a daily or weekly digest and grouped by the alert name within the email. Wine Watcher alerts can be created from wine listing and wine detail pages or within My Account. Click here to learn how to set up an alert.
How to use the Wine Watcher alerts
Wine Watcher alerts offer a powerful tool to track a wine or group of wines. Depending if you are monitoring your bids, looking for new inventory or just watching transactional activity, Wine Watcher alerts can provide you with timely information (see below) to support your decision-making on wines you are following:
• New Vinfolio Wine store inventory added (with the price)
• New quantity that is marked for sale has been added to the Vinfolio Marketplace
• A new low ask price has been set
• A new high bid has been placed
• A Marketplace transaction has been completed
Automated bid feedback provided by My Active Bids alert
The only alert created automatically upon placing one or more bids is one called “My active bids.” This alert defaults to “Immediate” delivery (the only alert with “Immediate” option) based on a new low ask or high bid on a wine which you have already bid upon. This “push” capability enables you to react quickly to competitive bidders or new asking prices set by sellers.
Managing your alerts
For alerts you create manually, you will receive a consolidated update of all the activity in your alerts on either a daily or weekly basis. To update alerts, simply go to My Account and select Wine Watcher. You may edit, delete or create a new Wine Watcher alert.
