Navigate to a slide at the end, like #54. We’ll repurpose this into a winning “thank-you” slide.

Consider when to use a thank-you slide. If you’re presenting at a celebration, they’re essential. Say thanks if your audience has traveled, or they’re taking action based on your presentation. Avoid thank-you slides if you’ve shared bad news, or if you want attendees to stick around.

Your best approach is to combine a thank-you slide with a time for questions. Here, you can easily create just such a slide. Click into the text boxes, select the contents, and drop in your own words. It takes only seconds, and you can quickly express gratitude while fueling engagement.

Another option is a “one more thing” slide, thanking your audience while revealing another big idea. It’s a good idea to style these with images. Simply drag and drop a photo onto your slide, click and drag to resize it, and you’re all set!

It’s easy to build a thank-you slide in PowerPoint. Remember: go beyond simple gratitude, asking for input to boost engagement with your audience. It’s a powerful way to build winning slide decks in 2023.
