Presentation Skills for Trade Shows
Visuals and Sounds
Use graphics, movies, cartoon drawings, charts and visual aids, you can also use sounds and text to demonstrate further. Computer software programs like Power Point are very impressive and can give a professional edge to your presentation, but be sure you have a thorough understanding of the software as well as the hardware you are using otherwise you could be heading for disaster.
The approach you need to take for your presentation.
Be confident and relaxed but above all be yourself. Use your own natural gesticulations or vocal intonation to your benefit. It is very difficult to transform the manner in which you are accustomed. A presentation is far more effective when one actually puts ones one energy full force into them. likewise, never attempt to be anyone else or duplicate another presenter's technique.
Dealing with nerves and anxiety for your presentation
Being a little nervous is not a bad thing; in fact a small amount of nervousness can be a good for your presentation. As the event is about to start some people might feel the urge to do one of two things,
1. Make a dash for the nearest exit or
2. Stand full Force and rush the whole presentation.
If you do get such feelings then simply take a couple of deep breathes, breathing in through your nose and slowly out of your mouth and just let all of your nervous energy channel into your performance and out to your listeners.
It is natural to feel nervouse at the beginning but go slowly and don't strive for perfection, walk a little back and fore or hold onto the display stand, whatever, just take is slowly, bear in mind that your audience will need time to digest what you are saying and to turn it around in their heads, so there really is no need for you to rush.
Talk to your audience like they are your friends
Your work as a presenter is to converse and to arouse your listeners so that they are eager to get all the info you have. Have a discussion with your audience. They might not in reality talk back, but let them sense that you are testing, consulting and questioning them, they will then remain alert and conscientious.
