visual aids and power point

visual aids are an important part of many presentations. the most commonly used media are the flipchart and computer based presentation programs. here are some suggestions for making the most your visual aids such as flipchart, computer based audio visual
keep your visual aids:

• visible
• simple
• colorful, but don't let them upstage you
• justified by the content not too many or too few slides

for effective powerpoint shows :

• don't read the slides to your audience!
• make your text large
• choose colors that make the text easier to read
• use bullet points instead of full sentences
• don't let the text or graphics fly around too much
• avoid charts and diagrams that are hard to see

most importantly : remember, you control the presentation, don't let it control you. powerpoint should be a "visual aid" not the entire show

body language on speech

here's how you can incorporate appropriate body language into your speeches :

• start with eye contact. being prepared, having control of your message is a prerequisite for being able to project and establish a bond with the audience. don't just pass your gaze throughout the room; try to focus on individual listeners and create a bond with them by looking them directly in the eyes for five to 10 second
• smile!
• express emotion with your facial muscles. for inspiration, take a look at the the human face, a bbc  documentary narrated by john cleese of monty phyton fame, now available on dvd
• avoid distracting mannerisms. have a friend watch as you practice and look for nervous expressions such as fidgeting, twitching, lip biting, key jigling, hands in pockets or behind the back
• telling a story? highlight the action verbs and look for ways to act out one or more parts. speaking about marathon running? run a few steps
• stay true to your personality. don't copy gestures from a book or other speaker, but respond naturally to what you feel and say
• make gestures convincing. every hand gesture should be total body movement that starts from the shoulder never from the elbow. half-hearted gestures look artificial
• vary your speaking position by moving from one spot on the stage to another. for example, walk o the other side of the stage as you move to a new topic or move toward the audience as you ask a question

1. price
there are many ways to price a product, and the price can be different in order to appeal to different segments of the market.
2. place
this is also known as the channel, distribution channel or intermediary. it is a mechanism trough which goods and services are moved from the company to the consumer.
3. product
a product is not simply the tangible, physical entity that may be bought or sold it is also the ideas and emotions associated with the product.

the marketing mix is traditionally known as the four P's : price, place, product and promotion. but these days, many include three more elements (people, process and physical evidence) to make it the seven P's.

why develop a business plan?

in the book the enterpreneur's manual, Richard M.White, Jr. states that business plans are "road maps" for business creation: "you identify your origin, select a destination and plot the shortest distance between the two points"



true, a business plan is essentially a blueprint for a business. however, it alaso serves many other purposes:

• a business plan is detailed blueprint for the activities needed to establish a business (i.e. the details of a product or service, the market for that product or service and the management of the business providing that product or service).
• a business plan is also the 'yardstick' by which a business owner measures success in meeting stated goals and objectives.
• also, a business plan is a tool for obtaining a loan from a lending agency, or for attracting venture capital.
