Coloma up close: notes for a small business website

With Interstate 39 crossing the village limits, Coloma sees traffic from far beyond Waushara County. Highway traffic brings freight: trucking, repair, towing and truck services work for customers from far away. A page with the services, the hours and a map is all a driver has time for.

When Coloma customers need you: the seasons

Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Hancock Experiment Farm, 5.5 miles away, put the July average high at 82°F and the January average low at 7°F. About 34 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 160 times a year. Cold winters mean furnace repair, snow removal, roofing and auto service, and the first freeze sends everyone searching at once. Give seasonal work its own page, so customers find them when they need them.

The businesses that compete for customers in Coloma

The Census counted 40 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 54930, which includes Coloma and its surroundings. A few examples from the same count:

• Full-service restaurants (3): the menu, hours, location and photos of the food, easy to read on a phone.

Across Waushara County, County Business Patterns counted 494 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 1,726 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Waushara County leans toward hotels, inns and other lodging (15 establishments, 3.6 times the national share). For them, travelers compare rooms, rates and location, and the website should show rooms with real photos, amenities, location and how to reserve by email or through your booking channel. Trucking companies are also overrepresented (24, 2.4 times the national share). None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.

Paperwork and rules for Wisconsin businesses online

A few rules apply to any Coloma business that sells or advertises online:

• A contact form collects personal information, and Wisconsin has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Wis. Stat. Section 134.98
• Wisconsin’s state sales and use tax is 5%. Most counties add 0.5% (Milwaukee County 0.9%) and the city of Milwaukee adds 2%. Wisconsin Department of Revenue

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
