Holland up close: notes for a small business website

In Holland, 7.1% of workers walk to their jobs, far above most of the state. Customers on foot pass the door and look you up at the same time, often standing on the sidewalk. Give walking directions and the nearest transit stop on the contact page, with a photo of the storefront.

Writing a website for Holland residents

Homeownership is high in Holland: 84.0% of households own, against 72.2% in Minnesota. That is a large market for home services that can be found online.

Pipestone County had 9,260 residents in 2025 and 9 incorporated municipalities. Census estimates for a city this size carry a wide margin of error, so the county is the better guide: the median household income is $69,628 and the median age is 40.4. Broadband reaches 87.9% of homes, and 11.3% of households are online only through a phone plan. 80.8% of households own their home.

Businesses in and around Holland

Some of the business types in Pipestone County, from the 2023 County Business Patterns:

• Local trucking companies: 10. Their website should show the freight you haul, the areas you cover and a contact form for shippers.
• Remodeling contractors: 10. Their website should show before-and-after photos, the areas you serve and how estimates work.
• Insurance agencies: 7. Their website should show a page per type of coverage, the agents and a contact form that sends quote requests to your email.

Pipestone County as a whole had 312 employer establishments in 2023 and another 737 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. By number of employer establishments, construction leads in Pipestone County (15.7%), followed by retail trade (15.4%) and other services (repair, personal care, organizations) (13.1%). Each of these businesses competes for the same search: someone in Holland typing what they need and picking from the results that look trustworthy.

Holland weather and a seasonal business

By the 1991-2020 normals of the Pipestone weather station (8.2 miles from Holland), July highs average 82°F and January lows average 5°F. About 29 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in June. About 11 days a year hit 90°F or more. Cold winters bring heating calls, snow plowing and winter car trouble, and the first freeze sends everyone searching at once. If you offer emergency or same-week service in bad weather, state it clearly and make the contact form fast to fill in.

Minnesota rules to know before your website goes live

Some homework before launch:

• A business that conducts business in Minnesota and owns or licenses data with personal information must disclose a breach of the security of the system to any Minnesota resident whose unencrypted personal information was, or is reasonably believed to have been, acquired by an unauthorized person, in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay. Minn. Stat. 325E.61
• Minnesota’s state sales tax is 6.875%: a 6.5% general rate plus the 0.375% increase required by the Minnesota Constitution. Cities, counties and special districts add local sales taxes on top of it. Minnesota Department of Revenue
