Make your PowerPoints stand out
Is there anything more dreadful than the 85-slide PowerPoint presentation? One with too many "slick" animations and annoying clipart?
With PowerPoints, the goal should be to grab your audience's attention, and guide them along as you explain why your product/service is so great. Don't drag them from one unnecesary point to the next.
Just the facts, Ma'am
To create an effective
PowerPoint, make it short and sweet. Just your messaging and bullets supporting
your message. Bullet points are your best friend when using PowerPoint.
Don't get caught up in "whiz-bang" animations that are distracting (and embarrassing when they don't work quite right with the projector). Your audience isn't interested in how well you can animate stick figures. Plus, needless animation tends to make the slide show seem longer than it really is.
Most successful PowerPoint
I've ever seen
I've seen terrible PowerPoints, and I've seen very engaging
ones. And the successful ones tend to focus on the features and benefits of a
product or service.
One of the most successful PowerPoints I've ever seen was a black, white, and grey presentation that had almost no graphics. The presenter simply talked, referred to the presentation when he needed to, and didn't rely on too many graphics. Each slide consisted of just a few bullets each with 15-20 words total.
