Audio Slide Shows Make the Difference

The best way to keep anyone interested in your product, regardless of whether it is a new software or a class presentation, is to make it exciting and simplistic. Slide shows are typically considered the best medium for presentations of any sort as they are constantly changing, keeping the viewer focused. A website has recently upgraded the Web by developing audio slideshows for all their users. Presenter Net, provider of online interactive Web presentation services, today launched Audio Showrooms, enabling voice-narrated slide presentations that are accessed and controlled by any viewer. The new Audio Showrooms are available immediately to all Presenter Net account holders free-of-charge. Every Presenter Net account includes a showroom that its user can name. The name then becomes part of a Web location accessible by visitors at any time.

In launching the Showrooms, Presenter Net CEO Doug Wolfgram said, "Audio Showrooms represent a brand-new kind of online medium. In many cases, they are far more effective than a Web site since they provide a detailed, focused view of a presented message, as compared to the broad, sometimes confusing information array of a typical Web site." Audio Showrooms can display any slide presentation in a user`s online library. They can include Presenter Net`s proprietary Inter Active Slides, with which audiences can provide feedback, respond to questions, provide contact information, or request additional information. Presenter Net captures these onscreen viewer responses for later processing by users.

To create slides that include audio, presenters record narration using standard PowerPoint capabilities. When theses slides are uploaded, Presenter Net compresses and transforms them to an efficient format for online use in the Audio Showroom. Customers are very excited about this new capability. Audio Showrooms can become a strategic element in a coordinated online marketing campaign. Search engine ads that link directly to a showroom are often much more productive than a Web site visit, and can engage viewers with easy-to-use multi-media. Audio Showrooms are also an excellent training tool, enabling instructors to narrate course material for online study.
