How to Create a PowerPoint Presentation for a Kiosk

Boost your kiosk's sales ability with an eye-catching PowerPoint presentation. Whether you are selling a product or service, a PowerPoint slide show is a preferred marketing tool. It lures customers in by arousing their interest and persuades them to buy on impulse. Follow these guidelines to create a PowerPoint presentation for your kiosk that delivers a winning sales performance.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

1. Eliminate technical jargon and write out abbreviations and acronyms. Remember that the public and not a group of trained professionals are viewing the presentation.
2. Use self-explanatory text. Imagine the audience has no background information about the product or service. Simplify conclusions and assumptions. Clarify the links between subjects.
3. Consider the speed of the kiosk's computer connections. If it is not high-speed, reduce the size of the presentation. Do this by accessing the "Compress Pictures" option on PowerPoint's main tools menu.
4. Make the presentation run automatically in a mall for viewers who may not be comfortable using a computer keyboard. At a trade convention with a smaller audience more accustomed to using presentation software, make a more interactive program. Follow the prompts on PowerPoint's "Slide Show" option on the main file menu.
5. Alternate slides between text and graphics. Use "Arial" as an easy to read font. Increase the font size so that viewers several feet away don't strain to read it. Eliminate difficult to read italics.
6. Insert graphics that don't divert viewers' attention away from the product or service. Keep the color scheme of the slides and pictures simple and harmonious to avoid focusing attention on the graphics alone.
7. Do a trial run on a random group of non-sales professionals. Ask the group to view the presentation and write down anything unclear or detached. Use this feedback to revise the presentation accordingly.
