GoAntiques.com Announces Enhanced FIND Item Alerts

September 26, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A more robust FIND Item Alerts system, just released on GoAntiques.com (www.GoAntiques.com), makes it easier than ever to receive email alerts when specific antiques and collectibles matching detailed criteria are available for purchase.
“FIND Item Alerts allow GoAntiques.com users to receive emails when items they are interested in are listed among the 450,000 items on our website,” said GoAntiques.com President Jim Kamnikar. “We have added new features to FIND that allow even more precise search criteria, thereby increasing the accuracy of results and saving users time and money.”
Kamnikar said new features include the ability to add an alert, specify a channel and category and edit keywords directly from detail pages which comprise almost two-thirds of the pages on GoAntiques.com. Alerts not only turn up a description of an antique but also its photo and online link. A “save search” feature allows searches across GoAntiques.com, including auction house catalogs, to be quickly added to alerts. Up to10 previous searches can be saved, which generates a personalized email to registered users the morning after an item they are looking for is listed on the website.
Saved searches can be easily modified to add or subtract search criteria, allowing refinement of searches and pinpoint precision in achieving desired results.
In addition, members no longer have to accept terms and conditions or input a password, making the entire process faster and simpler.
FIND Item Alerts, which are free to users, makes identifying antiques simple through the use of specific criteria:
• Channel: such as art, antiques, collectibles, estate items, design studio and coins
• Category: more than 130 categories such as furniture, porcelain/pottery, glass, jewelry, silver, decorative arts, paintings
• Price range
• Keyword
• Retail, Auction or Both: see newly listed items and be notified when items are moved to GoAntiques Live Auctions
