What factors should I consider when determining the length of my presentation?

Just curious how long everyones presentation is. I know it will vary but I dont' want to go too long or too short.

Thanks!

Presentation timeMy presentation on Saturday was 1 hour and then the recipe was cooked and ready to eat!

I guess I'd say that mine are usually that length, then the guests mingle, look at the catalog, place there order and leave. I was there probably 4 hours.

I would like to cut that time down, but haven't figured out how to not stay so long.

Hope that helps...

Wind bagI used to be a wind bag when I first started my business 3 years ago! My shows would go on and on and on! But I teach my consultants to have their show completed in 45 minutes to an hour.

With one recipe, there is no reason to go any long than that! And when you do go longer the crowd gets anxious!

25 minutes maxI swear. I do most of my shows as an Express type show. I pre-prep all of the ingredients at home (I buy for the hosts and have them reimburse the flat $15- or 0 if over $900 show!) and just slice part of a tomato, etc. at the show. I talk about the stoneware, cookware and higher priced items and then get a chance to mingle with the guests. They love the fact that they are in and out in just over an hour and had a blast, didn't feel 'sold' to. My show average is $700, with average bookings per show at 2. Time is precious and I make sure to tell them that.

Hi there! Great question. The length of your presentation will depend on a few factors such as the number of guests, the type of event, and the level of engagement from your audience. Typically, a presentation can range from 30 minutes to an hour. It's important to keep your audience engaged and interested throughout, so make sure to include interactive elements and allow for questions and comments. Remember, it's better to have a slightly shorter presentation that leaves your guests wanting more, rather than a long presentation that becomes boring. Best of luck!
