Pulaski’s small businesses and what their websites need

ZIP code 54162, which covers Pulaski and the area around it, had 184 business establishments with employees in 2023. A few examples from the same count:

• 3 hardware stores: departments, store hours and services such as key cutting or rentals.
• 3 veterinary clinics: the vets, the services, your hours and emergency instructions, plus a map to the clinic.
• 5 local trucking companies: the freight you haul, the areas you cover and a contact form for shippers.
• 6 landscaping companies: seasonal service menus, the neighborhoods you cover and photos of finished yards.
• 5 quick-service restaurants: the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.
• 4 real estate offices: the agents, the neighborhoods you know best and a contact form for buyers and sellers.

Across Brown County, County Business Patterns counted 6,722 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 16,366 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Brown County has three times the national share of machinery manufacturers: 49 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, industrial buyers compare specifications, so the website should show product lines, specifications, service and parts contacts. Metal fabrication shops are also overrepresented (99, 2.3 times the national share). The jobs Pulaski residents hold are mostly in education, health care and social assistance (19.1%) and construction (15.6%). Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

Pulaski weather and a seasonal business

By the 1991-2020 normals of the Green Bay WFO weather station (13 miles from Pulaski), July highs average 80°F and January lows average 10°F. About 32 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 151 times a year. Winter changes what people need: plowing and heating in winter, yard work and construction once it thaws. A website that changes with the season helps: new hours, a seasonal service, a storm notice, requested by email at no extra charge.

• Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316
• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
