The businesses that compete for customers in Hampden
Some of the business types in Ramsey County, from the 2023 County Business Patterns:
- Hotels and motels: 8. Their website should show rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
- Insurance agencies: 11. Their website should show a page per type of coverage, the agents and a contact form that sends quote requests to your email.
- Site preparation contractors: 5. Their website should show the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.
- Beauty salons: 5. Their website should show a page per service, your hours and location and a contact button for appointment requests.
- Full-service restaurants: 10. Their website should show the menu, hours, location and photos of the food, easy to read on a phone.
- Child care centers: 6. Their website should show the program, licensing information, the staff and a contact form for parents.
County-wide, Ramsey County counts 416 businesses with employees and 874 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Ramsey County has 3.5 times the national share of nondurable goods wholesalers: 21 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, restaurants, shops and institutions order by catalog, so the website should show the catalog, delivery routes and how to become a customer. Next on the list: vehicle dealers, 18 of them, at three times the national share. None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.

The legal basics for Hampden businesses online
Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but a few apply to most Hampden businesses:
- A contact form collects personal information, and North Dakota has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. N.D.C.C. ch. 51-30 (Notice of Security Breach for Personal Information), § 51-30-02
- North Dakota’s state sales tax rate is 5% for most retail sales, and cities and counties may levy their own sales and use taxes on top of it. North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner
This is general information, not legal advice; check with the North Dakota agencies, Ramsey County, the city of Hampden or an attorney.
