Tip 157: Make a high quality handout

The design and quality of the handout reflects on you, your approach to the subject, and your attitudes towards your audience. The technology is available for you to provide your audience with constantly up-to-date, high quality, effective handouts which can have a number of uses:

• A handout can reiterate your message.

• You can give your audience supporting data / graphs / charts from your presentation.

• You can give your audience a summary of the main points.

• You can give your audience a reading list.

• A handout helps your audience remember your message long after the presentation is over.

• If your presentation is running behind schedule, you can miss out certain sections if they are covered in your handout.

• A handout provides your audience with a way to contact you in the future.

• You can reinforce your credibility and professionalism with a well-designed handout.

• Your message can reach people who were not at the presentation if you give out a good handout.

The information density of the handout can be very high. A large amount of information can be included, particularly if you give consideration to the way you design the handout.
