Videos improve presentation quality
CustomShow users make liberal use of high definition free stock videos in their show-and-tell for B2B sales. Checkout a few samples below:
Here are a few reasons why you should consider including videos in your presentations:
- Instantly increase the production quality of your presentation
- Motion captures and retains the audience’s attention
- They help you deliver emotions of pain, joy, caution, achievements and more
- Videos explain better than words
- They are more fun compared to boring headlines and bulleted texts!
So why don’t we see videos in presentations more frequently?
2 reasons why you hesitate using videos
- Creating video presentations with PowerPoint, packaging them as PDFs, and then sending email attachments – all put severe restrictions on the size of your presentations. Presentations with high-resolution videos and other rich media elements can easily get larger in size. Your presentations will look as if they were taken from a tech movie!
- There is a perception that good quality and relevant videos are hard to find and will be expensive.
You can easily overcome the first problem by switching from PowerPoint to CustomShow.
To help you overcome the second problem, we surveyed lots of websites that offer free stock videos. We were pleasantly surprised by the quantity and quality of the videos available. Before you ask, no worries! We made sure that these websites are safe from unsecured web connections, so you can download the videos without worrying about your data being leaked online.
We ranked them by the criteria described below but do try them all out. You never know which one works best for you.
