Studies show that about 91% of listeners at business presentations admitted to daydreaming and an impressive 39% to downright falling asleep at a certain point. To top this up, we all spend 37% of our time in meetings and presentations. Hoping for a dynamic, engaging crowd is something that a presenter might desperately want. There are some serious skills needed in order to generate interest in the audience and making the entire presentation all the more engaging, interesting and interactive. A PowerPoint Design Company assists you in making the best presentation.

Prevent yourself from making a regular boring presentation and be the game changer while you present next time by following these tips.

1. Make wise use of graphical content
Nobody likes a presentation that is all plain text. If you want your presentation to be remembered and actually want to get people’s attention, add some tables, pie charts, diagrams and info graphics to make your presentation look a lot more appealing. Summing up all facts and figures in forms of smart art can actually make them all the more engaging.

2. Use pictures in accordance to the theme of your presentation
If you are presenting a financial report, incorporating data on an upward pointing arrow can create an acknowledging effect. Without even digging deep into the statistics, it can clearly depict that there has been a considerable increase in the sales. Use pictures wherever they tend to compliment your theme. Do not overuse pictures because that creates a clutter on your slides and looks like a design disaster.

3. Boost your jokes and humor by supporting slides
It is always a great idea to add a pinch of humor while making a presentation. Do not just crack a joke when you can actually make smart use of GIFs and memes in order to accompany your joke and multiply its effect. Show your quirky side and add relevant memes in accordance with your theme and humor. These things actually catch the attention of people who were not so interested otherwise.

4. Control the transitions with a remote or a laser pointer
It is a bit annoying when you have to stick to your laptop for changing slides or when you have to coordinate with another person to get your slides changed. This transition can be a complete cut off for the audience if not carried out smoothly. Use a remote or a laser pointer to let the flow continue without any distractions.

5. Have significant breaks in your presentation
Having an icebreaker in a presentation is as important as having intervals in long presentations. If your presentation is short, add a slide in the end that indicates the audience that you are now open for questions. Have a feedback slide to know how your audience liked your presentation and to involve them more. Ask them questions, let them ask questions and share their opinion to make it all interactive.
