OREM, UT, July 16, 2024 — Smarty, the address data intelligence leader, announces today the launch of US Secondary Address Data, a new address enrichment API product that seamlessly integrates into an organization's existing systems. Smarty’s US Secondary Address Data provides the exact number of units within a building, such as a business complex and apartment building, including the complete and verified secondary addresses. This functionality is crucial for any organization looking to further market research efforts, create go-to-market plans, boost marketing effectiveness, enhance customer relations, and ensure regulatory compliance. 

This cloud-based tool is the only secondary address API accessible solution available on the market today. With 56 million+ standardized and verified secondary address components in Smarty’s database, organizations will unlock more information to create customized marketing strategies. Maximizing market assessment capabilities, US Secondary Address Data enhances how organizations catch those elusive secondary address data points such as suite numbers, apartment numbers, and more, improving operations and increasing revenue. 

“Deciding how to implement address enrichment tools into your organization can be a critical part of understanding customers, finding new customers, and understanding risk,” said Berkley Charlton, VP of Product Management. ”Analyzing where you are in the process and finding those missing components is the first step. Finding a provider who gives those missing components to you in a way that makes sense for your organization is the next.”

Integrating Smarty's US Secondary Address Data product will also eliminate the need for extensive research into subunit or suite numbers, providing instant and accurate address details. Numerous industries will benefit from this new API accessible product, including:

  • Telecommunications: Organizations can use Smarty’s secondary address data to get a more complete picture of the surrounding population, greatly aiding in network planning efforts. 
  • Real Estate: Professionals can use Smarty’s secondary address data to more easily identify renters looking for home ownership, improving marketing efforts and boosting revenue.
  • Insurance and Reinsurance: Providers can use Smarty’s secondary address data to better assess risk and write more accurate policies. For example, units or suites in a high-rise complex are far riskier to insure than those in a duplex.  

“We want to emphasize the cost of NOT using secondary address data enrichment tools,” said Jonathan Oliver, founder and CEO of Smarty. “There are a number of untapped opportunities hiding within secondary address data. We’re giving you the key to unlock that information, changing how your organization identifies new business opportunities and ensuring that insufficient address data won’t be a problem that sinks your ship.”

Introducing Smarty’s mascot… Hermes?
Arrow Icon
Greek gods, as it turns out, have a lot to say to the mortals on Earth and the souls in Hades. What they don’t have is time to travel from Olympus all the way to Earth or Hades just to tell a mere mortal to perform 12 labors… or eat a magical herb… or free Odysseus. That’s why the gods have a personal messenger: Hermes. Equipped with winged sandals, Hermes travels between Olympus, Earth, and the underworld with lightning speed (Get it? Lightning? Because his dad is Zeus? 🤣)Smarty also knows a thing or two about outrageous speed, and that’s not where our similarities with Hermes end.

Looking to build a direct mail marketing campaign? You’ve come to the right spot. Before you can send marketing mail like a pro, you’ll need to build a list of verified addresses.

On top of that, a bad address list could lead you to miss out on mind-blowing postal discounts. 😱Don’t let bad addresses capsize your campaign. With a US Master Address List of over 210 million verified addresses—available by state, county, or nationwide—and shipshape US Address Verification, you can construct new lists or clean active ones with the swagger of a seasoned captain.
USPS API rate limit capped at 60 requests per hour: How to prepare and why many are choosing Smarty

Because who doesn’t love juggling one more thing during the holiday season…? A major shift in the address-verification landscape is approaching at the beginning of the new year. On January 25, 2026, the United States Postal Service (USPS) will officially retire its long-standing Web Tools APIs, a free API that previously allowed for approximately 5 address lookups per transaction. This includes the legacy USPS Address Information APIs that many organizations have depended on for years. Under USPS’s new API structure, the default quota for many services, including the Addresses API, is 60 requests per hour.
