Melissa Data Offers Free Service to Get Holiday
Cards and Gifts Delivered On Time

Address LookUp provides a fast, accurate way
to verify addresses for holiday mailings

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. (October 30, 2007) -- Melissa Data, www.melissadata.com, a data quality software and services provider, announced its free Internet-based Address LookUp search tool that is available for mailers who want to ensure timely delivery of cards, gifts and letters during the heavy holiday mailing season.

“Our lifestyles are busier than ever and the importance we place on holiday greetings has grown”, said Ray Melissa, president of Melissa Data. “It’s a once-in-a-year chance to share news about our families and to hear from loved ones – and the best way to make sure you connect this year is to verify addresses before you mail.”

Mailers can access the Address LookUp tool by visiting http://www.melissadata.com/lookups to verify addresses and ZIP® codes before sending holiday greetings and gifts. The tool will even add the correct ZIP + 4® code to the verified address for faster mail processing and delivery.

The Address LookUp is one of 30 different free LookUps available 24/7 from Melissa Data. The LookUps are so popular that more than 55,000 visitors use them every day. And during the holiday season the number of LookUp users triples.

Once addresses are verified, Melissa Data encourages users to plan for cut-off dates for holiday mailings. The company, which works closely with the United States Postal Service® has posted holiday mailing dates put out by Postmaster Dennis J. Mahoney to ensure delivery by December 25th. Those dates are:

USPS:
Dec 13 - Domestic Parcel Post & Global Priority Mail: Int’l & Canada
Dec 14 - Global Express Mail: International
Dec 15 - Global Express Mail: Canada
Dec 16 - Global Express Guaranteed: International
