The team at MRi recently developed our landing page and handled all of the back-end work for our giveaway. Initially, we didn’t expect the amount of work required to launch, but thankfully, MRi took care of all of the details and behind-the-scenes work for us. We’ll be ringing them up the next time we need giveaway support
