Sales presentation...product ideas with creative ways of presenting it?

Question

For my sales management class, I must do a 10 minute sales presentation on a product of my choice.

Since there are no limits, it is hard to even begin to decide what to try to sell, and it must be a creative way of doing it - not just making a powerpoint presentation and talking.

Please tell me any ideas you have of what product and how I should creatively try to sell it in 10 minutes.

10 POINTS: To the person who gives me the best idea of a product and includes a creative presentation idea.

I need to do the following things in the presentation:

-the features of it (physical things)
-the advantages of it (why it is better over something else)
-and the benefits of it (what will it do for the person)

Answer 1

Here's an idea:

the item you can sell is either some sort of body spray or room spray in, let's say, a tropical scent. When your start your presentation, have everyone close their eyes. Start playing a tape of tropical music & then spray the nice scent all over the room while their eyes are still closed. Then you can start out by saying "Picture yourself on a tropical beach..." etc. & then talk a while about the scents of the spray (coconut, etc.)

What ever you end up with, GO WITH THE SENSES (like pick a product that will appeal to their senses. Our sense of smell always provokes very strong feelings/emotions) Good luck!!!!

In college I had the same thing. I am a hairdresser and was at that time so I did mine on Nexus products. I would suggest something you are familiar with like automotive or styling gel.

Know your product and pinpoint all its benefits to the class as if they were the customer. Present, why they should get it, Information on the product and the excellent price. Think of things you like and would buy.

You will get an A for sure I did. Good Luck.
Be convincing. No gimmicks because consumers are not stupid.
You are suggesting to them to buy this item because this gel will prevent uv rays from damaging your hair and it gives a shine and saves time. The only way you learn is by doing it. Try it with something you like.

Ok, There is a DVD player recorder by Lite On that is a very versitle unit. Everyone wants to be up to date with technology, save memories, save space, save money, save time. We all know someone that wont part with their VHS tapes and players perhaps because of old home family movies at the least. Or someone who is still using a hi8 camcorder because dealing with a computer may be too complicated for them, or they don't have one. And going down to the local drug store to have your tape put onto DVD is too expensive. Another person is still using a 35 mm film camera because of the same reasons above, complication, expense, etc. Well with this Lite On DVD recorder player unit life and technology are made simple. This unit has RCA and USB outs in front of the unit for easy transfer and recording. And to add you can catch your favorite movie on TV and put it on DVD too! This unit is only around $130 dollars, and beats buying a computer, or upgrading your currant one. And to boot, if they already own DVDs they can use it as a player too. Take some of these things and add your own personalization to them (record an old movie to DVD and to make it go quick present it like a cooking show with the three steps with the before during and after). Hope this gives you some ideas and good luck to you!

Answer 4

Does the product have to be material? If not you might try selling overnight shipping (FedEx, UPS).

Get a friend to help, stand in one corner of the room, have your friend in the other. Use a ball, as your package and throw it to your friend across the room. You have just shipped a package across the world over night.

Now explain how that is important.

Answer 5

Give them something they can play with. You need a bit of a gimmick.

Silly putty. Pass it out for everyone to open and use. Bring some newspaper too, and use the putty to extract the images and twist them into funny faces.
