Bob Keebler and Marty Shenkman discuss planning between now and December 31st. The time is crucial and the opportunity is not to be missed. Marty has created a postcard to inform clients of 2012 planning opportunities. A company called "Printing for Less" - which does Marty's newsletter - will customize and mail it for any practitioner at a 20% discount off printing costs + postage. (Marty gets no payment from this). You can use his postcard primarily with no royalties (but a nice note and perhaps a gift to charity in Marty's name is in order). To learn more, just go to http://www.printingforless.com/shenkman and you can quickly handle the entire process. LISI has posted Marty's sample postcard and a flyer that explains it. You can find it by loging into LISI and looking under ActualText.
