2014 Small Business of the Year

By MSW -

Allow us to brag a little! 


Each week, we try to offer great tips for improving your web presence via a great website, robust social media activity, mobile websites, as well as great search engine optimization tips.  This month however, we’d like to do a little bragging about our team.

We have been members of the Lake Area Chamber of Commerce for 6 years and during the annual dinner a couple weeks ago, we were honored to be selected as the Small Business of the Year 2014!

How did we do it? 


We believe MSW Interactive Designs achieved this award through the efforts of ALL of our outstanding team members: Owners, Mike (Sales Dude)  & Sandy (Web Chick)  Waggett;  Web Chick (& Secret Weapon), Sherrie Thompson; Social Media Aficionados, Erin Burdette, Bailey Campanini, & Kate Wright; and our Accounting/AR team, Duane & Jane Grierson.  We have been fortunate to hire true superstars who have helped our clients achieve great success online. THAT is a difference maker for MSW Interactive Designs.  Our goal is not to simply gain more business… it is to make sure we are growing YOUR business.  We instill this in our team members and we pride ourselves on the fact that our very first client from 15+ years ago is still our client…on a month to month contract!

Serving the Community is a Key 


We realize that in order to be successful, you have to give back to the community that supports you. We look for any opportunity to give back to the Lake of the Ozarks community in a variety of ways. Over the past six years that we have been at the Lake, we have donated more than 10 websites to charitable organizations in the area whose mission we admire and support, and we’ve given substantial discounts to dozens more.  We also serve on several Boards at the Lake, have held leadership positions in local charity organizations, and we almost never say no to organizations asking for our help.  We also have helped establish several local business networking groups leading to nearly $100 million in local closed business via referrals.  We truly embrace the idea of “Givers Gain” in our core business philosophy.

Upward and Onward 


This achievement makes us even more focused on delivering fantastic customer service to our clients. We are continually monitoring the web landscape and gain new ideas and experience every day.  We look forward to bringing this knowledge to bear for all of our current and future clients. Thanks for the opportunity to celebrate this award with our loyal fans and clients.  See you around town!

Protect Yourself from Falling for Phishing or Spoofing Attempts.

We love to fish at the Lake of the Ozarks, but there is another kind of “phish” you should always avoid. Email is a popular target for cyber criminals to gather information and is often used for “phishing”. This communication method is an easy way to steal sensitive details about people or deposit malware or a virus on your device.  It’s widely used, because most people are generally trusting and/or curious. Our internet marketing company in mid-Missouri gets questions about this kind of activity from our clients. Learn what phishing is and how you can better protect yourself from a potential threat: What is Phishing? The term Phishing is coined after “fishing” and is when a cyber-criminal hangs a digital “lure” and waits for an unsuspecting victim to bite. A phishing email typically has a link for the email user to click, and attachment to open, or prompts an email reply. Once you’ve taken the requested action on a phishing email, the cyber bug is in and likely gathering p...
