BatchBlue Software Super Hero Contest Winners
The BatchBlue League of Justice & Department of Events and Activities has convened to cast their votes for Small Business Super Hero. We’re pleased to announce the winning entries!
First place: Mother Load Doula Care
Frankly, Alexis Dubief had us at baby-wrangling and laughter, which are two of our favorite things at BatchBlue. We love the idea of “Wonder Doulas” and hope they will use their secret powers to bring us some Pringles.
Here’s their award winning entry:
For the endless sleepless nights and days of unstoppable crying, for the parents too tired to eat anything more than a can of Pringles, for the older siblings who are angry and confused by this little creature who threatens their position as lord of the house. Against the stress and anxiety of the newborn, for the unexpected emergencies that thrust families into chaos, for the sanity of the Mom who is stretched to her limits. There are three who stand between these parents and the void of desperation... the wonder doulas.
These wonder doulas use their secret powers of stealthy swaddling, food foraging, nap nurturing, and anxiety axing, these women swoop into the home during the family’s darkest hours to bring peace, happiness, and the promise of a better tomorrow.
They protect their secret identities as wonder doulas with quiet lives as part-time stay at home Moms, using bed head and food-smeared jeans to keep others from recognizing their super powers. The blend quietly into society working towards a future where stay at home moms can have a way to work within the flexible schedules that their families need. And families with newborns can catch a much-deserved break.
Congratulations! You should use your jetBlue gift card to fly someplace warm! And now you’ve got a lifetime BatchBook account to help you keep track of all those new babies (and their parents!)

Third place: gotClicks
So many small business owners need help with their websites. We love that Sarah Spencer is out there fighting the good fight on their behalf. Because if there’s one thing we hate, it’s unscrupulousness.
Here’s Super Sarah:
When we last left our heroine, she was battling overpricing from an unscrupulous web designer claiming to have superpowers in the Google Analytics realm. Got Clicks scaled an attack of detailed reports showing the client’s website had under-performed and the client had over-paid.
“Curses!” objected the web designer “If it wasn’t for Got Clicks, I would’ve made millions off that client!”
Got Clicks saved the client from a financial drain on resources by directing them to www.gotclicks.biz. They soon purchased a Got Clicks training video that taught them how to market their website wisely and affordably. After seeing real results and tweaking their site under the watchful eye of Got Clicks, our client saw marked results in their campaigns. Soon, their business soared to new heights. Let Got Clicks save the day for your company!
One Superman lunchbox and a t-shirt will be flying Sarah’s way.
Honorable mention: Lottie’s Lounge
Lottie’s owner Josh Davis provides a valuable resource to small business owners. No, not booze (although he’s got that, too), but a gathering place, a place to unwind and forget about work for a while.
Josh says:
My business gets people drunk and/or helps them find happiness; it fills their bellies with natural/real food (not made in factories or factory farms) and allows those who come here a place to exist outside of work, outside of home, and outside of reality if need be. I work hard so others have a place to just be. My super hero story is that I work too many hours so that those who do the same as me can feel real again.
We think relaxation is just as important as work itself. That’s why we’re sending Josh a couple of t-shirts to relax in.
Congratulations again to all the winners and thanks to everyone who entered. You are all heroes in our book!
