Second Annual Contest Recognizes Champions of Small Business and Contributors to the Community
Providence, R.I. (PRWEB) June 1, 2009 -- BatchBlue Software (www.BatchBlue.com), provider of the BatchBook small business CRM (customer relationship management) software, today announced the winners of its second annual Small Business Super Heroes contest: RetroRazor.com, Edamar, Inc. and Jitterbug.tv. Each of these businesses are in the business of contributing to the greater good of society and are determined to shine while answering to a call of duty.
The competition, which ran simultaneously with National Small Business Week, May 18 - 22, 2009, recognized companies that stand out in individual ways and are determined to make a difference. The application asked for descriptions of how submitting businesses embody the Super Hero code to serve their community of customers with integrity.
This year's winners are:
| | - First Place - Chadd Bennett, RetroRazor.com: A trip to a remote village in Italy was the setting for Chadd's Super Hero inspiration. This cool, vintage-style razor business offers a greener, cheaper, closer shaving product than commonly available. It won by a whisker.
- Second Place - Ed Basconi, Edamar, Inc. (KitBook.com): One half of the dynamic duo of engineers (along with David Jones) on a mission to improve science teaching and learning in schools and homes, Ed uses his powers to create a combination science kit for kids and textbook. Honored for striving to foster a younger generation of Super Heroes.
- Third Place - Dan Gelertt and Randall Green, Jitterbug.tv: A place for parents and young kids to listen to great, independent, hand-picked childrens music and videos (that won't irritate adults!). Parents everywhere breathe a sigh of relief.
