WhitePages.com Introduces the Holiday Center

Special content area enables holiday shopers, party goers and throwers to save time this holiday season with innovative tools and resources

SEATTLE-November 7, 2006

WhitePages.com, the best place for searching, finding and connecting with people, today announced the launch of the Holiday Center, the fourth in a series of online centers designed to meet the needs of consumers during key periods in their life.

Each holiday season, consumers rely on WhitePages.com to access mailing address information, search for retail business listings, create mailing labels for holiday cards, and manage guest lists for holiday parties and family reunions. The new Holiday Center provides centralized 24x7 access to the most critical information busy consumers need to manage the holiday season: people search, business search, area code and ZIP code search, and mailing deadlines.

"There is a significant spike in traffic on WhitePages.com because people want to reach out to friends, family and former colleagues but do not have ready access to some of the phone numbers and addresses," said Susie Kang Algard, senior vice president, WhitePages.com. "The Holiday Center is designed to be the one place they can go to find the information they need to connect with and share the holidays with those who matter."

Holiday Center Highlights:

• Guidance on stress-free shipping, including packing tips, methods to avoid delays and how to save time and money by consolidating shipments


The Holiday Center can be accessed via www.whitepages.com/10001/centers/holiday or through the Tools & Resources tab from the WhitePages.com home page. The newest of WhitePages.com's vertical activity centers, it joins Wedding Center, Auto Center and Moving & Home Improvement Center as the fourth in a series of targeted consumer resources.

WhitePages.com is the 38th most trafficked Internet site, with 22 million unique visitors each month who conduct more than 100 million searches. As the most trafficked people search site on the Internet, WhitePages.com experiences a 10 percent traffic spike during the holiday season as more consumers need residential phone numbers and mailing addresses, and contact information for local businesses. On December 19, 2005, consumers conducted nearly 6 million searches for contact information on WhitePages.com. Last month, WhitePages.com introduced WhitePages Plus, a new email search service, which provides consumers who prefer to send e-cards or electronic gift certificates with a method for finding email addresses.

WhitePages.com has the most complete contact database on the Internet, providing consumers with convenient access to 108 million U.S. residential listings, 11 million Canadian residential listings, 12 million U.S. business listings and two million Canadian business listings. WhitePages.com provides a deliverable mailing address for 92 percent of residential listings, ensuring consumers have the most accurate information at their fingertips.
