•         Sample/Gimmicks: If you are promoting the product for the first time then give samples to the audience or by giving prizes to the volunteer who participated in any of the activity. But one has to be careful and has to maintain control. By providing samples your product will also be promoted and audience will also appreciate it. If they use the product and find it good they will also recommend to others so sample distribution is also beneficial for the presentation.
•         Movement: Try to move around the conference table and leave the lectern area especially at the beginning and end of your talk. By moving around you will avoid presentation becoming boring and constant so keep moving around the tables and ask questions to them that will increase the attraction of audience towards the presentation.
•         Drama: One your speech by telling a moving story or by describing a serious problem which involves audience in the story. Throughout your talk include dramatic elements like long pause after a key statement. Moreover, change your vocal tone or pitch. Further, professionals use high intensity emotions such as anger, joy, sadness and excitement.

·        Questions: Keep listeners active and involved in your presentation by asking questions. Ask listeners to show of hands to get each listener thinking. As a result, you will come to know how much audience pay attention to your presentation. This is the good trick to know that whether the audience is interested in your presentation or not. One should also keep on asking questions in between

·        Demonstrations: Always demonstrate by asking the audience to volunteer in demonstration. For example, I’m going to show you how this product will work but for that I will need one volunteer to help me in demonstration. Always ask for the audience help in the presentation to demonstrate in the presentation this will increase audience potential and will be easy to convince.

·        Visuals: Always give your audience to look besides you. Use a variety of slide shows, videos, pictures, and  many more so that audience can engage themselves in presentation. Also consider the writing concerns expressed by your listeners on flip-chart or on the board as you go along. The visuals will make your presentation attractive and easy to absorb information for audience. It will also avoid being a presentation boring.

·        A Promise: While giving any speech first of all one has to begin with a promise that keeps the audience expectant and stick towards the presentation.

     There should be a promise that you giving to the audience, so that they are interested in the presentation.
