The Census Bureau’s ZIP Code Business Patterns put 814 establishments with paid employees in Point Pleasant’s ZIP code (08742) in 2023. A few examples from the same count:
- Boat dealers: 5. Their website should show the brands you carry, service and storage information and a contact form.
- Marinas: 6. Their website should show slips, services, fuel dock hours and a map, with a contact form for availability.
- Beauty salons: 20. Their website should show a price list, a gallery of recent work and a contact form for appointment requests by email.
- Caterers: 6. Their website should show sample menus, photos of events and a form to request a quote with the date and number of guests.

County-wide, Ocean County counts 15,020 businesses with employees and 54,825 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Ocean County has 1.4 times the national share of schools and training providers: 300 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, students and parents compare programs and costs, so the website should show programs, schedules, tuition or fees and how to enroll. 30.8% of employed residents work in education, health care and social assistance, and 13.5% in professional, management and administrative services. None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.
The Point Pleasant climate, from a business owner’s view
By the 1991-2020 normals of the Toms River weather station (12 miles from Point Pleasant), July highs average 86°F and January lows average 22°F. About 52 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in December. About 24 days a year hit 90°F or more. With this much rain, roofing, gutters and drainage work never run out of calls, often after a storm.
