26.6% of Eastman residents are under 18. That makes Eastman a strong market for everything that serves a busy family, and every one of those businesses competes for the same parents. Make the contact form short: a few fields is enough to start.

A village that keeps changing

Since 2020 the count has slipped: 348 then, 333 in 2025. Wisconsin as a whole changed +1.3% in the same period. In a stable market, reputation matters, and a website lets customers check yours at any hour.

Most of Eastman is homegrown: 87.4% of residents were born in Wisconsin. A rooted community still looks businesses up before calling, if only to find the hours.

Crawford County as a whole had 379 employer establishments in 2023 and another 1,208 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Retail trade accounts for 19.8% of the county’s employer establishments, ahead of accommodation and food services (14.0%) and construction (10.3%). Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

Before you publish: Wisconsin and federal rules

Some homework before launch:

• 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
• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Wisconsin sales tax once they reach the state threshold: More than $100,000 in gross sales into Wisconsin in the previous or current calendar year; the 200-transaction test was eliminated by 2021 Wis. Act 1. 2021 Wisconsin Act 1
