WOW Your Audience with a PowToon Presentation

[Stephen Peacock]

PowerPoint presentations are dull and passé. Wow your next audience with a PowToon presentation and have them eating out of your hand! Go from dull to WOW!

Okay, that might be a little over the top - having a snazzy presentation alone isn't going to make your prospects or internal stakeholders drool over what you are proposing.  Sure there needs to be a clear value proposition and supporting evidence when appropriate - but the truth is graphic images do make a difference in presentations. And moving images - aka video - is even more powerful! 

PowToon enables anyone with just a little tech comfort to make powerful animated graphic presentations (or presentoons as they call them) quickly and affordably.

What is PowToon?

Of course, I'm sure you are wondering just what PowToon is and it's probably best to get it straight from them. They say:

PowToon is the brand new Do-It-Yourself animated presentation tool that supercharges your presentations and videos! Save massive amounts of time and money by creating Presentoons that bring the WOW!-factor to product demos, business presentations, social media clips, and much more.

• User-friendly, Intuitive interface
• Countless style, image, and effect combos
• Professional results, powerful responses

Here's some of what TechCrunch had to say about Powtoon:

The freemium service is aimed at non-professional designers and video editors, and it offers drag-and-drop objects which you add to slides. You then choose their animation, duration, add text, and add a soundtrack. Then, boom, you have a professional-looking demo presentation. The service also includes templates to get you started (e.g a product demo teaser, event invitation, etc.), if need be. The resulting presentations can be uploaded to YouTube or shared on social networks like Facebook and Twitter, of course.

The U.K./Israel-based company was founded in October 2011 by serial entrepreneur Ilya Spitalnik (CEO) who now runs the Greenwave Incubator and COO Daniel Zaturansky. It has some funding from Spitalnik through Greenwave as well as a small round from Kima Ventures, but is mostly bootstrapping.

By now you are wondering what all the fuss is about.  Well, here's a sample PowToon from the company that provides a excellent overview of the presentation tool.

@Leslie, I couldn't agree more, I hope you share some of your Presentoons with us here!

@Gaynor it is definitely worth checking out. I found it really easy to use too which means most people should be able to use it without trouble.

@Danyelle, give me a buzz if you decide to try it out and have any trouble. I'm sure I can help.

@Leslie - thanks :) That's my professional look! Though I have to admit it is now outdated since I've shaved the facial hair.
