Who you compete with in Rehoboth Beach

Rehoboth Beach shares ZIP code 19971 with the surrounding area, where 972 employer businesses were counted in 2023. Some of the businesses behind that number:

• 35 clothing stores: new arrivals, store hours and an online store for the same monthly fee.
• 129 full-service restaurants: the current menu with prices, hours, the address with a map and photos of real dishes.
• 32 hotels and motels: rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
• 34 real estate offices: a page about each area you cover and an easy way for buyers and sellers to reach the right agent.
• 13 beauty salons: a page per service, your hours and location and a contact button for appointment requests.

County-wide, Sussex County counts 6,411 businesses with employees and 23,077 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). 181 clothing and accessories stores operate in Sussex County, twice what the national mix would predict. In that line of work, shoppers browse before they visit; the website should give customers new arrivals, brands, sizes and store hours, or an online store. Next on the list: specialty retailers, 131 of them, at 1.5 times the national share. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

Designing a website around Rehoboth Beach’s customers

24.4% of employed residents work for themselves, above Delaware’s 8.6%. A simple, professional website is often the first upgrade a solo business makes.

43.6% of residents are 65 or older (20.6% statewide). A website for this audience should be easy to read on a tablet, with large buttons and a clear way to get in touch.

The newcomers came from the Northeast: 70.4% of residents were born in another state. Without a website, a business is invisible to the people who arrived last year.

What Delaware asks of a business with a website

These are some of the Delaware and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• The Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act (DPDPA) exists, but its thresholds are high: Businesses (for-profit and nonprofit) that do business in Delaware or target Delaware residents and, in the preceding calendar year, controlled or processed the personal data of at least 35,000 consumers (excluding payment-transaction data), or of at least 10,000 consumers while deriving more than 20% of gross revenue from selling personal data. Delaware’s 35,000 threshold is one of the lowest in the country, but a typical small business still falls well below it. 6 Del. C. Chapter 12D
• Delaware charges no sales tax. Instead it levies a gross receipts tax on the seller’s total revenue, at rates that vary by business activity, so the customer sees no tax line but the business owes tax on what it collects. Delaware Division of Revenue
