Spring Clean Your Presentations :: Free Template



The weather report is forecasting nine inches of snow for Chicago, I hope you'll be spared.  Regardless, Spring is just around the corner and there's no better time to clean up your presentation and/or marketing materials. This month's free presentation template is just the cure!

Quick fix solutions to improve your presentation:
  • Remove/reduce the affects applied to type.
  • Don't overwork the type with colors, and AVOID WORD ART.
  • Select bullet symbols and keep it neat, avoiding picture-based bullets.
  • Reduce the amount of text on every slide, the focus is your speech.
  • Purchase quality stock images that represent your brand/company and build your own library.
  • Graphics should fill the screen, not be a postage stamp.
  • Simplify charts/graphs to essential data, building a series, if needed, to emphasize a complex idea.
Remember, they came to hear/see YOU speak, not have the slides read to them. This also applies to web-based presentations. The presentation is the backdrop to re-enforce your message. Offer to give or send a whitepaper, e-book or marketing kit in your followup.

Free Powerpoint template, available for download and immediate use.
