Sound makes presentations memorable
Music and sound effects are rarely considered by the marketing and sales team for B2B presentations. Proper use of audio clips helps in telling your story, highlighting an important point and retaining audience’s attention.
Here are a few reasons why you should consider adding high quality Royalty Free Sound Effects & Music Clips in your presentations:
- A combination of sound and visuals is very impactful and effective
- Music and sound effects keep your audience engaged and interested
- They help designers set the mood according to the theme of the presentation
- They ‘wow’ your audience
2 reasons why you hesitate using Sound Effects & Music Clips:

- There is a perception that good quality and relevant music and sound effects are hard to find and will be expensive.
You can easily overcome the first problem by switching from PowerPoint to CustomShow. But sometimes the problem can be elementary. And this is limited access due to your location. If so, check out all the possible use cases for VPN on the blog at cooltechzone.
