Mobile Presentations

Mobile Presentations

Communicating with your audience can be a challenge in the business world. People are busy, and travel, expense, and time demands mean that your audience simply don’t have the opportunity to listen to you. We have become used to blocking out interruptions, and emails are too easy to ignore. So how do you overcome these barriers?

The solution is mobile presenting. By the end of 2011, 1 in 2 people will have a smartphone – and this figure doesn’t include tablets such as the iPad. 55% of smartphone usage is spent viewing content, and this content could include your presentation.

Mobile presentations mean that presenters can reach their audiences on the go, at a time that suits them. Salespeople don’t have to worry about arranging a meeting to fit in with a prospect’s busy schedule, and marketers can rest assured that company employees aren’t just ignoring an email about the latest product update. And these are all just remote situations. You can also have your presentation at hand wherever you are for that ever-possible opportunity of the person next to you on the train asking, “So, what do you do?”

Brainshark

What does it do?

Brainshark allows users to create and narrate presentations and share them via a link, so that they can be played on the recipient’s computer – or any mobile device. As the Brainshark viewer is not dependant on Flash, it can even work on the iPad and iPhone – something that is overlooked by many alternative solutions.

This means that presenters can easily send a Brainshark presentation to their audience members via an email link. Audiences can either view the presentation through a web browser or the specialised iPhone/iPad app – at a time that best suits them. Not only this, but the presenter can receive a view report so that he knows when the presentation has been viewed – which proves extremely useful when following up leads, or checking that important updates have been viewed by company employees.

Sharing Content

Content is shared via email link, which means that if your audience receive their emails on a smartphone, they can simply click the link and the presentation will open in a web browser. They can also choose to watch the presentation in the free Brainshark app for enhanced functionality. Presentation authors can even share their presentations through the Brainshark app itself, via email, Facebook, Twitter, or otherwise.

Attaching Content

Brainshark even allows presenters to add attachments to Brainshark presentations to be downloaded – in any format. Attach a Word document or pdf that goes into more detail on your topic, or an Excel spreadsheet that displays the numbers you’ve summarised in the presentation. All of the extra information your audience might like to look through that isn’t integral to your presentation can be attached and downloaded – even on a mobile. And as you are not sending the file, but just a link to it, there’s no danger of not being able to get into your recipient’s inbox.

Live or On-Demand

Sending a presentation via link means that it can be viewed by your audience at a time that most suits them. But what about those opportunities when you’re face-to-face with someone, and need access to your presentation on the spot? With Brainshark you can access any of your Brainshark presentations through an internet connection, and deliver it there and then. You can even produce a version of your presentation that isn’t narrated, so that you can talk your audience through your content live.

Present Mobile

Move away from the challenge of everyday presentations. Send valuable, engaging content that can be viewed on any mobile device, and reach your audience anytime, anywhere. What are you waiting for?
