PowerPoint can do more than teach students---it can promote your business.
As a business owner, you are constantly looking for ways to tell customers about your product or service. Advertising with Microsoft's PowerPoint (PPT) presentations can help promote your business at a fraction of the cost of TV and radio commercials.
Benefits
Presentation software such as PPT is a natural choice for advertising. The purpose of giving a presentation is to sell the audience on an idea. A PPT ad takes it a step further by promoting a specific product or service.
Soft Advertising
According to "Presentation Magazine," CoffeeCompany, a Netherlands-based chain of coffee shops, managed to get students to place ads in one of their slides in exchange for a free coffee. The CoffeeCompany's slides had messages such as "This next slide took me four cups of coffee to write" that appeared with the company's logo and web address.
PPT on the Web
Advertising with PPT also translates well to promoting your business on the Internet. You can easily add PPT advertisements to your website, or you can upload a videos of your PPT to websites such as YouTube, DailyMotion, Yahoo Video, or MetaCafe, where it could potentially be viewed by millions of people.
