From the classroom to the workplace, there are numerous venues where one could benefit from using a digital projector. One is often used to help with conveying information, especially when faced with large crowds. However, it also works when pitching ideas to smaller groups. Find out the power behind projections and how they can help you better deliver your business presentations.
Interactive and dynamic presentations keep your audiences engaged
The more engaged your audiences are, the more they are able to absorb the information that you are feeding them. They will better remember your points and you will be able to make a deeper impression. It is said you have 7 seconds to make an impression on someone, so when you are pitching a proposal, it is essential to make all of those 7 seconds work for you. From the way you dress to the media you are using, it is important to make them all count. By turning on the projector, you are able to capture their attention with what is on the screen. Pair it with a confident and charismatic intro and you’ve got them in your pocket.
Better showcase your ideas and help visions align
Not everyone is blessed with the gift of the gab and are able to help people visualize what they are talking about. Similarly, not everyone has the imagination (nor the inclination) to see what you want them to see. In both cases, it is helpful for some sort of visual aid so there is no room for misinterpretation. If your client is able to fully grasp your vision, they are more likely to be inclined towards your proposal. Conversely, if someone is unable to comprehend what you are selling to them, they will most likely phase out and brush it off.
It expands your horizons and stops your project from limiting itself
Technology is improving at exponential rates and we should be doing our best to catch up. While you can essentially email a copy of your slides to everyone and have your audiences look at them instead while you go through your presentation, you might not be able to have their full attention. This is why digital projectors have not gone out of fashion. You want everyone to focus in front and on you. When you have their attention, you can bring them elsewhere via a video or an interesting slide through your presentation. You do not have to be limited to an office room as the projection will be able to enhance the environment and pull your audience in.
You can use them as cue cards
Certain people have trouble remembering the flow of their presentations, whether due to nervousness or if presenting is just a skill they have not mastered yet. Projected slides can act as cue cards for the presenter and give them an extra boost of confidence to present well. It is essentially a Dumbo effect — he didn’t need a feather to fly, but the feather allowed him to believe and so he did.
