There is so much that is right about this service and the way the reseller is using it:  First, it is multi-touch with multiple types of content supported; second, it is drip marketing at its best – in the ERP buying cycle, you never know when someone is really ready to buy; and third, the reseller is using their mdf or co-op funds to buy down the cost.  Smart, smart and smart!
