- Who will attend- and how many? The content of presentation should be aimed at the audience, and the choice of visuals to meet the needs of the presenters group. Visuals need to be visible to everyone.
- What is the purpose of the presentation? Is it to explain a plan or a project; to tell people what to do and how.
- Why are they there? Is attendance mandatory? Any time anyone attends a meeting, they will always be asking themselves, “What’s in it for me?”Be sure answer that question for them.

used to clarify and reinforce the message.
