Four Tips For Preparing Effective Presentations
Nonetheless PowerPoint presentations provide an easy means to disseminate and showcase information in a visual format, most presenters have yet to come a long way to become aware of the visual communication components that can make or break a slide show.

What are four key practices to recommend to anyone charged with the responsibility to prepare and deliver presentations? How could you make your company's presentations more effective, secure, and relevant?
Here a few tips:
1. Safeguard your message with exhaustive editing. Do not forget your show notes. Edit your entire presentation—including slide notes and comments—before you even consider posting it online for a public audience.
2. Put PowerPoint in context. PowerPoint slides are often just visual props for a compelling speaker. You want your message to be heard, not just seen! Convert your PowerPoint presentations to streaming media—with sound and motion—to create a more compelling and persuasive message.
3. Give your online audience instant gratification. When your audience members click on your presentation link, give them instant gratification—provide them with a streaming media presentation—without any extra plug-ins or downloads.
4. Reduce your bandwidth. Full-blown multimedia and/or PowerPoint files can be big and bloated. Make sure you compress all your online media files to ease your bandwidth costs.
