Seneca County has far more than the national share of breweries, wineries and distilleries: 23 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, visitors plan tasting trips around hours and directions, so the website should show what is on tap or in the bottle, tasting-room hours, events and directions. Clothing and accessories stores are also overrepresented (47, about five times the national share).

What Lodi customers look for before they call

87.4% of Lodi households are homeowners (54.3% statewide). Homeowners hire contractors, landscapers, cleaners and insurance agents, and many look them up online first. Broadband reaches 82.4% of households in Lodi (90.8% in New York), and 5.9% get online only through a phone plan. For many residents the phone is the main way online, so the website has to work well on a small screen.

Children under 5 are 8.8% of the population, a sign of many young families. Parents of small children plan around naps and pickups; hours and prices on the first screen save them a call.

New York and federal rules for small business websites

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

• Out-of-state sellers have to collect New York sales tax once they reach the state threshold: BOTH tests must be met in the immediately preceding four sales tax quarters: cumulative gross receipts from sales of tangible personal property delivered into New York exceeded $500,000 AND more than 100 such sales. Official source
• The New York State sales tax rate is 4%; cities, counties and school districts add local rates (roughly 3% to 4.75%), plus an extra 0.375% inside the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District. New York State Department of Taxation and Finance

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your village hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
