Stop giving presentations with outdated PowerPoint slides
Power Slides gives power and guidance to deliver your message to a rapt audience
OMAHA, NE – August 8, 2006 – (Business Wire) Everyone's done it. We have all given a PowerPoint presentation at some time that simply uses the same recycled look that has been around for almost 10 years. Power Slides by Summitsoft shoves aside these outdated guidelines by powerfully enhancing presentation backgrounds, and giving guidance to better deliver a message through the use of templates.

Standard PowerPoint

PowerPoint with Power Slides

Recycled look and feel of backgrounds turn away viewers

Textured or industry based backgrounds that draw audience attention to key points

No purpose to background placement leaves little structure to presentation

Progressive backgrounds showing time progression visually walk your audience through your message

No guidance on how to not overload your audience with slide information

Templates optimized to deliver message with minimal bullet points and slides

Transitions and animations draw focus away from presenter

No transitions or animations to draw focus away from presenter

With over 150,000 new PowerPoint users every month, the majority being students and teachers, the limited presentation options tend to just recycle the same look and feel. What many people dont realize is that serious testing has determined best presentation practices. These include:
using as few slides as possible to keep attention focused on the presenter,
minimizing bullet points in slides,
using blue backgrounds to effectively capture and keep the attention of your audience, and
limiting transitions and animations, or not using them at all.
Since Power Slides installs for direct use within PowerPoint (and also Keynote, on Mac), presentations can be easily enhanced to today's eye-catching looks. There is no need to export your presentation into a separate program that will "jazz it up" with the very transitions and animations proven to work against you. Power Slides will be available September 2006 for both PC and Mac platforms, with a Suggested Retail of $29.99.
