PowerPoint offers a healthy assortment of “design templates,” which give users a head start on slide show formatting. They can either choose a template when they create a new presentation, or they can use the Apply Design command to change the appearance of an existing one.

Fortunately, you can give your students the best of both worlds—efficiency and originality. After you show them how to use PowerPoint’s standard design templates, teach them to create a custom template that reflects their company’s image and their own tastes. They can then use that template to create their own trademark presentations. Here’s a sample walk-through that introduces the necessary steps.

These 208 free PowerPoint template kits are for your personal use in the presentations you create for yourself or others. Each set contains 8 templates. They can be used for any presentation you are creating for yourself, a client, your job, school, church, etc. They may not be distributed, sold, or displayed on the Web by anyone except me.

Click each image below to bring up a new webpage showing what is available. The templates can be downloaded as sets or individually. Once downloaded, double click on them to extract the files. See to learn where to store them.

The templates cannot be displayed or offered on any other website, nor can you link to the files from your website. They are here for your personal use in PowerPoint only and cannot be sold by anyone. I regret even having to mention this, but unfortunately not everyone appreciates or respects artistic rights or copyrights.

Make a powerful impression. A few simple improvements can make the difference between a captivated audience and a sleeping one. Browse our selection of Microsoft PowerPoint templates, experiment with PowerPoint or read up on how you can create great-looking presentations that deliver results.

PowerPoint Templates Note:

This is a “collection” of Microsoft PowerPoint templates; some of which were created years ago and in varying versions of Microsoft PowerPoint. The thing is—our members are still using these “older templates” so we are simply adding new templates to the mix.

Think of customer relationships as
investments. Every contact with a
customer is an opportunity to build
your relationship and differentiate
your business. When giving presentations
to customers or prospects make sure to
give them information they can really use.
The best way to do that is to understand
your audience and personalize your
presentation’s content so it’s more
meaningful to them. Here’s how.

1 Think outside in
Forget about what you want. Think about what your customers want.
What products or services do you offer that will help your customers meet
their challenges, relieve their pain points, or achieve their objectives?

2 Make it personal
Don’t give the same presentation every time. It’s true that it takes extra
time to customize your content, but the more relevant you can make it, the
better your chances of connecting with your audience and building your
relationship. Include a welcome or introductory slide with the names of the
people you’re meeting with, the date, their company name (if applicable),
and any other relevant information.

3 Clarify your commitment
Everyone has a job to do, but why are you committed to yours—and the
company you represent? Tell your customers. Keep it brief, but tell your
customers why you believe in what you’re doing and why you’re proud to
represent your company. When customers understand your motivations,
it strengthens your relationship.

4 Keep it simple
Keep your slides short and succinct. Even the titles should add value. As a
rule of thumb, use six (or less) bullet points, with six (or less) words each.
You can cover the details in your discussion and handouts.
