TYPES OF PRESENTATION

INFORMATIVE PRESENTATION

INFORMATIVE PRESENTATION

Purpose is to:
• Highlight something new, be it a new product
or service
• Increase the knowledge of your audience
• Provide the audience with a better
understanding on a particular topic.
INFORMATIVE PRESENTATION

• Does not have any personal opinions and


should only contain factual information
supported by evidence.
• Usually informative presentations are not
trying to sell a product or service or influence
the audience’s beliefs or attitudes.
• It is strictly used as a method of data or
information transfer.
EXAMPLE:
• A BUSINESS MEETING
- presenting statistics or facts.
• Informative presentations are very effective
for
highlighting sales data;
presenting the results of market research;
charting your business development through a
graph;
PERSUASIVE PRESENTATION

• These are used to strengthen, change or influence


your audience’s attitudes regarding your product,
service or idea.
• As the speaker you often have a strong emotional
connection with the topic and should
demonstrate this in a convincing, clear and
persuasive manner.
• Likewise the presentation itself should be well
organized with supporting arguments throughout.
EXAMPLE:
• A MARKETING PRESENTATION
 You are trying to persuade a prospective
buyer that your product or service is more
useful than the competitors (usually on
ethical grounds).
DEMONSTRATIVE PRESENTATION

Purpose is to:
• show the audience how to do something, how
something is made, or how something works.
• As the speaker, you should be familiar with the
subject and have prepared your props in
advance. You should also try to involve the
audience in the demonstration at some point.
EXAMPLE:
• How to conduct a demonstrative presentation.
Four keys to effective presentations
Bradbury, 2006

• 1. Know your audience


• 2. Keep it simple
• 3. Keep to the point
• 4. Have confidence in yourself and in your
message
Know your audience

• To who do you want to deliver your message?


• What do you want them to hear?
Keep it simple

• Keep your speech short and simple


• Talk to your audience as they are, not as you
would like them to be.
Keep to the point

• Don’t underestimate your audience.


• Tell them what they need to know, NOT
EVERYTHING that you know.
Have confidence in yourself and in your message

• Keep the audience at your side.


Why are these important?
• Unable to present because of
ANXIETY
• AUDIENCE will feel BORED
A presentation is a chance to share, not an oral exam
