Wow the Crowd

Wow  the  Crowd with a Powerful Presentation

 Presentations can be an important part of business.  Big accounts have been won and 
lost due to the quality of a presentation. Whether you want to add new  clients
or service the ones you have, being a good presenter is a key to 
success.

  In this article, we’ll show you how to create
professional-looking  presentation materials that are easy to put together.
You’ll also learn ways  to deliver your presentation so it’s entertaining and
dynamic. Here are some  tried and tested tips to make your next presentation a
smash!

Prepare presentation materials that pack a punch

 The thought of speaking in front of a crowd is a bit unnerving for most of  us.
But with some good preparation and a can-do attitude, you can keep the  
audience engaged and interested in what you have to say. Here are a few  things
to do in advance:

 Create a handout they’ll want to keep

 Put together the key information from your  presentation to pass out to your
attendees. They’ll have something to refer  to during your presentation, a place
to take notes, and a handy takeaway to  use as a reference later.

 Or, if it’s the kind of presentation where you need all eyes on you the  entire
time, pass out the materials at the end so they can review your  information
afterward and keep it fresh in their minds. To give your handouts  a
professional look, start with Avery Durable  Binders.  Then organize the information inside with a clean, printed-on look
with Avery Index Maker  Dividers.  The clear label tabs can be customized quickly with  free Avery
Design &  Print Online
 software,  and it’s easy to create labels for both the  front and back of each tab.

Bring a back-up, because the show must go on

Don’t  let technical  difficulties be your presentation downfall. In the event you’re
unable to  project your slides, bring a hard copy of your slides organized in
an Avery  Binder so you’ll have  something to refer to as back up and can continue presenting
without a hitch.

 Get  the audience involved

 
For  large audiences, Avery Postcards are
a great  way for the audience to jot down questions for you to address during
the  presentation, or to get feedback afterwards. For collecting feedback, it’s 
always helpful to include at least one question you want them to answer on 
their feedback card.

 Your cards can look even more professional by
customizing them with graphics  and including your logo, too! You can hand them
out at the beginning of your  presentation, or tuck them into the binders and
let the audience know they’re  there.

 One more idea on your  presentation materials: if you’re shipping your  materials to the conference
location ahead of time so you won’t have to carry  them with you, why not brand
your Avery Shipping and  Mailing Labels with
your business logo? You’ll have a more professional  look down to the smallest detail.

Deliver  your presentation like a pro

 When you’re presenting, you’re looking for nods of approval, not people 
nodding off in the middle of your bar chart screen. Whether you’re new to 
public speaking or just a little rusty, there are three words that can help 
you: practice, practice, practice! Here are some other simple tips that can 
take your presentation from blah to aah.

 Be friendly and open - Start with a big, high energy smile and lots of eye contact.

 Break the ice - Find a common thread in the audience with topics such as parenting, sports, a 
relatable product, etc. and open with a refreshing or heartwarming anecdote  to lighten things up.

 Interact with the audience - Ask the audience to participate by asking opinions and  questions about their
experience on the subject.

 Use humor - Don’t be afraid to poke some fun at the obvious, like “This pie chart has so 
many colors, it could pass as a beach ball.” You’ll get a lot of smiles and  be
able to break any tension.

 Keep their interest -  Even if you’ve got a lot of facts and figures to discuss,  your presentation
doesn’t have to be dry. Mix things up with interesting  visuals, share stories
to make points more memorable, and keep the flow of  your presentation going at
a good pace.

 With the right preparation, customized Avery products, and
a little practice,  your next presentation can be your best
yet!

Avery, you've done it again.  Thanks for wowing us.
