A true test of your basic marketing and business skills (..and your patience) can be working with Microsoft PowerPoint. It calls upon the creator to cleverly demonstrate design skills, technical literacy, and showcase their personal sense of style – no easy feat for time-poor executives. So often these extremely important communication pieces are left to the last minute for either the fear of tackling the PowerPoint program itself or the lack of creative design abilities to pull a rabbit-out-of-a-hat at the 11th hour!

Master Template

What is it?

A Master Template is a base form of a PowerPoint template which houses everything in it’s Master slides, and nothing on the ‘front end’. This keeps the file size minimal, allowing it to be easily emailable.

Features & benefits

• Small file size
• .potx file can’t be overwritten
• No pre-populated slides (no existing slides to delete every time you open the presentation template)
• Theme, charts, fonts and colour files are contained, and if installed correctly, these can be pre-loaded into the program itself across the team
• Unless the user knows how to access the Master slides items can be inaccessible if they live on the ‘back-end’ – removing the temptation for editing brand elements and layouts

Slide Library

What is it?

A PowerPoint template’s Slide Library showcases all the possibilities and examples for slide layouts and its contents. This library of slides houses many elements on the ‘front end’ for ease of copying, sharing, re-using and building presentations.

Features & benefits

• Slightly larger file size (dependant on how many slide feature in this file)
• .potx file can’t be overwritten
• Pre-populated slides (more to delete if building from this file)
• Ideal for an icon suite, logos, all styled tables, charts
  and complex diagrams, and commonly used slides with elements that need to sit on the ‘front end’
• Elements that aren’t locked into a Master slide will be accessible from this library of slides

Are your service offerings to complicated to explain?
Are your consumers not retaining the information they need?
Are your consumers bored of reading lines and lines of text?

If so, then you need explainer videos! It’s typical for consumers to choose whatever information that they need based on how easy it is to process. Why? This is because humans tend to avoid task in which are too demanding in a cognitive way. Considering that video content is processed 50,000 times faster than text, It’s a no brainer that consumers will always choose video over text when searching for information. Furthermore the average person retains only 10 percent of what they hear, but 50 percent of what they see according to a study conducted by Wharton Research Center. Meaning that by using explainer videos, consumers are more likely to remember your information.

There are many reason’s why videos are good for you businesses. Here are just 4 benefits showing how they can help:

1. Increase conversion rates
   According to a recent survey conducted by Video Rascal, 85% of audiences are more likely to purchase a product once they see an accompanying explainer video
2. Clarify the objective of your message
   Text can be tricky since there are so many ways consumers can interpret what they see and read. Explainer videos but though all the data and clutter to deliver a concise and engaging message.
3. Help your audience retain information
   The average person retains only 10% of what they hear, but retain 50% of what they see according to a study conducted by Wharton Research Centre. Consumers, therefore are more likely to remember more of what information is shared in a video and are more likely to share it with others.
4. Make your pitch entertaining
   If you need to cover a lot of information in your pitch, then it may be at risk of being stale of just pure boring. Liven up your pitch by using a video instead. PowerPoint slides with a bunch of words and charts don’t do much to engage your audience. However, a well-placed video with a solid script and engaging visuals can capture the attention of your audience almost immediately.

1) A Data Story

A good infographic starts with a solid story. This often roots from some sort of data that is visualised to make it more understandable. For purposes of an effective infographic, the story needs to be succinct. This shouldn’t be lengthy, it is an idea that comes to life within a few hundred words with great headlines and a visual theme that ties it all together.

2) Visual Style and Flow

Graphics are at the heart of the infographic. Creating beautiful graphics for your infographic is important. People expect good visuals when they are looking at an infographic and information should be arranged in an attractive way that appeals to your target audience. Here are some simple tips:

Adhere to a consistent style : Even a small-format story needs to include consistency. Place information using an inverted pyramid, meaning that the most important information is at the top and gets less significant as the user moves down the image.

Keep it clear : Optimally, users should be able to see most of the information at a glance and everything should be readable. If you find that your infographic needs to be a little on the large size, break it into manageable parts so that all the information from one section is viewable at one time.

3) Valued information

One of the most important aspects of an infographic is the information that you include. It should be on a topic that is valued by your primary audience. By addressing customer concerns, you can use your infographic to give them the valuable information they want while handling customer objections.

4) Call to Action

Don’t forget that your infographic should always have an end goal. Why did you make it? What should people who see it do? You can remind users to share on social media and don’t forget to include your branding or identification in the infographic. By including a call to action it can help increase the ROI on your investments.
