Create impressive Presentations for USB Stick / USB Flash Drive
USB Stick (USB Flash Drive)
A USB Flash Drive (also known as a USB stick) is a data-storage device that connects directly into the computer's USB port. The memory storage capacity of these devices ranges between 32 MB and 64 GB. Not only are USB flash drives small in size, they also boast higher storage capacities, faster access times and higher transfer rates than CDs and DVDs. Because the price of memory chips has fallen dramatically, USB stick prices are becoming increasingly attractive. This means that USB sticks are replacing floppy disks, CDs and DVDs as a way of storing data.

Together with a professional presentation with frontend menu, USB sticks offer an impressive way to get your messages and presentations across.

 | A Presentation has to be impressive It goes without saying, of course, that the success of the business presentation will depend on how much impact your presentation makes. As well as making it attractive and professional, it is also essential to remember the old adage that first impressions count. When your customers insert the CD or DVD into their drives, you want them to be presented with a clear introduction frontend menu giving them all the options available. You certainly don't want to be making them search through all the files in the hope of finding your presentation. Getting off to a good start is essential, after all you don't want to annoy your users before you have even gotten started. A smooth and well presented introduction enables your presentation to shine through. |

- How can you get this important information to be displayed as soon as the data-carrier is inserted?
- How can you structure the CD so that the user does not have to search for information?
The fatal mistakes you should not make.
- Leave your users unsure about what to do or what to expect after they have inserted the CD, USB, etc.
- Make your users search for documents themselves
- Lose the interest of your CD, DVD and USB users

PowerPoint Presentation
PowerPoint is a Microsoft Office product. It is used to create interactive PC presentations for training, demonstration, product, service and company presentation purposes. CD, DVD and USB stick (Flash Drive) are used to distribute PowerPoint presentations. These components make it possible to achieve inexpensive and convincing marketing presentations for products, services and company profiles.
What should be taken into account when creating a PowerPoint presentation?
- You need to save your presentation as a "Screen Presentation (*.pps)".
- Sound and video files will not be embedded, this files must be saved separately with the presentation on the portable media.
- Split up longer presentations into several smaller ones. Always bear in mind that the transfer rate from a CD or DVD to the PC is between 5 and 10 MB/sec. This means that a 500MB presentation will take between 50 and 100 seconds to load! High load times can give users the impression that the program (or CD) has crashed.
Disadvantage of MS PowerPoint
An installed MS PowerPoint Software or an installed PowerPoint Viewer is required on the viewers PC. Otherwise, the presentation is not playable.- see also: PowerPoint CD
