How to Use Alert Presets to Find Deals Faster
Learn how alert presets help users repeat searches and monitor deal opportunities.
Alert Presets help users avoid repeating the same searches. Instead of typing the same product, category or profit target again and again, users can save the kind of deal they want to watch.
For example, someone might create an alert for trainers with a minimum profit target and a minimum Mole Score. Another preset could focus on gaming accessories, small electronics or branded clothing.
Free users can explore MarginMole basic search tools. Pro users can save a limited number of Alert Presets and scan them manually. This is useful for users who want to check a few favourite searches each day.
Unlimited users get more flexibility, including unlimited Alert Presets and automatic scanning while the Alerts page is open. This helps users keep an eye on deals in the background.
The best presets are specific, but not too narrow. If a preset is too broad, it may return too many weak results. If it is too specific, it may not find enough opportunities. A good preset usually includes a clear product or category, a realistic profit target and a Mole Score threshold.
Users should update their presets over time. If one preset keeps finding weak deals, it should be changed. If another preset finds strong opportunities, it may be worth creating more similar presets.
Alert Presets do not buy items for users. They simply make deal research faster and easier to repeat. Users should still check the product details, condition, sold prices and seller information before buying.
Used properly, Alert Presets can turn MarginMole into a regular deal research system rather than a one-off search tool.
