Right away, many people see the powerful benefits of using spectacular presentations for online marketing and eLearning, but aren’t quite sure “how” one of these presentations can be used in their specific business.

There are an abundance of ways to use spectacular presentations; and for starters, we’d like to present this list of 21 ideas…

1. Presentations Sounds fairly obvious, but yes… for making a presentation they work extremely well.An example would be a stage presentation or seminar that you’ve done in the past and want to use it to engage your new audience and have them experience your message. These presentations can be delivered robotically over and over again. So take your best presentation and make it spectacular.
2. Course Previews Online and offline courses can be previewed in a spectacular presentation. Highlight what the course teaches, and peak the interest of the prospective student.
3. 52 Week Coaching Automatic delivery of a weekly spectacular presentation can be used as an ongoing coaching tool.
4. Converted Teleseminars Recorded teleseminars are perfect for being converted into spectacular Presentations. The “listener” will get more out of it through the added visuals and user control.
5. Viral Marketing Do something different… do something that gets people buzzing… then put it online in a spectacular presentation. Peak their interest then demonstrate what your business has to offer.
6. Prospecting Demonstrate to prospects what your business has to offer through the visuals of a spectacular presentation. This will create a more compelling and lasting impression in their minds than text or audio alone.
7. Affiliate Marketing Create your marketing message once and all your affiliates can use it again and again; a powerful marketing tool for your affiliates to use.
8. Traffic Generation From within a spectacular presentation, live links can redirect the viewer to a promotional or affiliate web site, a sales page, or any other site that the presenter desires.
9. E-Coaching What better way to coach than to be able to visually demonstrate the methods and techniques spoken of within the coaching session.
10. “How-To” Course Showing “how to” is extremely more effective than telling “how to”. A spectacular presentation is the show and tell of “how to” education.
11. Quick Start Training Training can begin at any time. Whenever the student is ready, the training can be delivered instantly. Start now… learn now. For any new student, starting any NEW course the most asked question is “How or where do I start?” Give them that answer, make your courses easy to consume. You’ll get less refund requests, but more importantly you’ll get happier students who are engaged and using your courses.
12. Expert Interview Having an expert interview delivered as a spectacular presentation is a great way for the audience to really “get to know” the expert. There’s the intimacy of hearing their voice, but even more intimacy with being able to put a face to that voice.
13. Public Web Critiques The actual web page can be displayed with notes, pointers, callouts, etc. As well, sections of the web page can be isolated or enlarged to allow the reviewer to focus in on them. It is so much easier to be able to see what they are talking about rather than having to try and follow a description of what they are talking about.
14. Affiliate Training What a great way to train affiliates. They all get trained the same way, see the exact same information, and then can use the same presentation in their affiliate campaign. Basically it is “Robotic training”.
15. Inner Circle Training The Inner Circle is the “elite” clients of any business. The are your Evangelists. Give them something a little more special than simple audio training. Allow them more vivid and in-depth training with a spectacular presentation.
16. Free Bonus Training With free bonuses, the value is dependent on what the client perceives it as. By adding visuals and graphics to audio training, the perceived value of the “free” training increases.
17. New Client Introduction Introduce prospective new clients to your business. Introduce them to what you do, and how you can help them solve their problem. Also, you can state any requirements you may have for working with a new client and what their initial investment will be. This will save you and them a lot of time in getting to understand what’s involved in a business relationship with you. You can both see if there is a fit between you and them to create this new relationship.
18. Tips and Tricks Save time for clients, employees, etc. by showing them tips and tricks. With a spectacular presentation, they will be able to actually see how it’s done, and you won’t have to be hovering over their shoulder to show them.
19. Live Seminar Follow-up After you’ve made a presentation at a live seminar, and it’s been recorded, you can roll it out into a spectacular presentation. It gives you a product to sell… a kind of “remember this point” or “since you weren’t there” type of product. It’s a great tool for seminar follow-up or for people who couldn’t be there.
20. Frequently Asked Questions People get a huge benefit from listening to others get answers to their questions. They find out things that they never thought of asking, or answers to questions that they had as well. Putting FAQ’s into a presentation enables people to get the benefit of listening to others questions, being able to see graphics that show them the answers and clicking on links that take them to solutions.
21. Limited Only by Your Imagination The ideas of how to use a spectacular presentation are almost endless. Whatever you can imagine, you can create. A spectacular presentation is a great tool to use in your business for training, marketing, information and bonus gifts. These presentations can be delivered robotically, faster, better and with the least amount of human effort.

Hopefully these ideas have tweaked something in your mind on how you can use spectacular presentations in your business.

You may want to customize a slide show for a particular audience. Rather than randomly hiding slides for a particular audience you could create three different versions of a presentation inside the same file. One may contain slides suitable for your clients; other custom view might contain slides suitable for new starters and a third senior management. The core presentation might be the same but displaying different levels of detail and nuance to suit.

Don’t forget to add visual effects for moving from one slide to another.

You may want to create a transition effect as your presentation moves from one slide to another. As well as transition effects between slides you may want to add either standard or custom animation effects on the slide. Imagine you were an oil company and wanted to show each of your new rigs flying in from different directions in a predefined sequence.

Why not consider adding action buttons to the slide that can be invoked during the presentation.
You could add links to graphics on your slides to add links to another slide, slide show, or Web page. Other links might be made to Excel spreadsheets, Visio drawings or Word documents
Set up a presentation to run automatically.

PowerPoint also can be setup so that all or part of the slide show can be shown automatically on timers. Once the presentation reaches the last slide it can then be programmed to start again from the beginning.

Short Cuts

PowerPoint provides a wide array of shortcuts for use during presentations. For example 7 and enter would take you back to slide seven.

To prompt questions at the end leave your conclusion slide visible, so that your audience can refer to it. You can bet that your audience will want you to go back to a few of your slides so you should have a handy list of likely slide numbers so you can quickly access the requested slide.

Do create speaker notes and handouts to back up your presentation. PowerPoint can print the slides in miniatures to hand out to the audience or as speaker notes to prompt the speaker.

You must pack up a presentation to run on another computer. A presenter should take good care if they are displaying the presentation on a remote site to ensure that they copy not just the PowerPoint file but all the linked files and fonts that make up the finished products. If need be you can also copy and bring with you a PowerPoint viewer just in case the machine you are running your presentation on does not have a copy of PowerPoint installed.

Beware of Networks and unpredictable Internet Connections. In general it’s good advice to disconnect from the Internet. While you are presenting, there is no requirement to have a network connection you can copy all the files you require to a local directory. Similarly unless you intend to show to show a web site or disconnect network cables and disable wireless connectivity. Don’t take a chance on your computer deciding to download software updates, display unexpected instant messages, or alerting you to the arrival of new mail.

Know your venue. If your venue is offering light pens, dimming options on lighting and a wireless Mouse check then all work and rehearse how to use them. Better still make sure that you have the number of the support person if it all goes wrong. Have a plan B. If the projector bulb blows have paper copies or transparencies at hand.

It is not without reason that for a woman delivering a healthy child and returning back to the normalcy of her life is quite like her second birth; for an enormous amount of hard work and labor goes behind giving birth. So to commemorate this special event and also to welcome the new member into the family a tradition that has been in existence since ancient times now is to give a gift to the new mother soon after she has delivered her child. In recent times it has acquired the name of ‘push present’.

Traditionally these presents that were given to the new mothers were mostly jewelry or other valuables especially for the affluent. However others chose something different depending on what suited their pockets. In present times such presents are of various kinds and one has very many options to choose from depending upon the preference as well as budget. These days push presents are also coupons for doing dishes, changing diapers, or for babysitting so that the mother can take a break from her chores.

But all said and done, the age old tradition of gifting a new mother jewelry to celebrate her motherhood is definitely something that has a great deal of meaning and significance, the very reason why jewelry still happens to be the most popular option for a push present. Mostly these present is given by a husband to his wife soon after she delivers their baby, therefore nothing can be a more romantic than jewelry for a woman from the father of her new born child.

Since most husbands are aware of what their wives like and the kind of jewelry that they prefer, selecting a push present becomes easier and one can select from an array of diamond jewelry, colored gemstone jewelry or plain metal jewelry. If your wife is especially fond of a particular variety of jewelry be it earrings, rings, pendants, or bracelets then select piece in diamonds or gemstone as a push present for her and she is sure to love them.

Gifting the mother some birthstone jewelry as a push present is another very good idea, and better still you can also pick up some birthstone jewelry for the new born that will not only look great on both mother and child but also shower them with loads of good luck.

An expression of deep love a push present is always special and when it is a jewelry push present its appeal and timelessness is multiplied.
