GREEN
In an effort to reduce excess paperwork and materials, PowerSplash Project economizes on paper.
For example, our training guides are embedded on each purchased CD and the mailing case is modest
in size and decoration. By taking these and other measures we are, in a small way, helping the planet
and passing the savings onto the consumer.

LICENSING
More and more, companies are opting to put training materials on-line to keep staff informed in real
time. Though we offer DVD as well as CD-ROM PowerPoint presentations ideal for one-on-one or
group training, some companies prefer the training presentation to be on their private intranet or
internet site for ease and access 24/7. Do so minimizes the need for extra discs.
With our licensing plan, IT departments have the option of downloading a purchased title or set onto
their network of computers (within one address) as well as post on their private intranet or internet site
via an MPEG video file. Imagine the convenience of total access whether employees or managers are
in the office, on the road, in a training session or at a conference.
A purchased DVD (or PowerPoint) can be shown in any room at any time. For convenience, multiple
purchases of the title or selecting the licensing option would make the DVD (or PowerPoint) more
readily available. Basically, if a company needs a "copy" of the title or series, they should buy
additional units or purchase licensing. Showing the original purchased copy in front of thousands in an
auditorium is acceptable. However, "broadcasting" the purchased copy (via intranet, internet, web
conference, video conference, etc.) requires licensing.

PRICING: SUGGESTED RETAIL PRICE
Our pricing for "The Employee Handbook Series" was set according to the time lengths of each
title. Our style condenses a typical 20 minute project into an 8-12 minute time frame. The benefits of
brevity and information are passed onto the viewer. However, in a competitive market, we chose to
lower our price so the customer could justify the purchase based on the length of each title.
Discounts are determined by the various distributors. However, PowerSplash Project may suggest
specials once or twice a year. Please note there are no discounts on licensing fees.
For The Employee Handbook Series, a single title is $85.00 and includes a DVD presentation as well
as a CD-ROM with a PowerPoint presentation and a Training Guide. If a client wants to purchase a
lifetime license for unlimited use on unlimited computers (within one address) and/or post on their
private intranet or internet site, the cost is $500.00 and includes a DVD, a PowerPoint CD-ROM with a
Training Guide, and an MPEG Video file of the presentation for IT usage.
The fourteen title set is $885.00 and includes 4 DVDs and a CD-ROM containing fourteen Training
Guides. If the customer would like to receive the fourteen CD-ROM PowerPoint version, the price is
$200.00 available only with the purchase of the DVD version (within the same shopping session). If
the customer would like to purchase a lifetime license for unlimited use on unlimited computers (within
one address) and/or post on their private intranet or internet site, the cost is $5000.00 and includes 4
DVDs, a CD-ROM containing fourteen Training Guides, and an MPEG Video file of the presentation
for IT usage. The licensing option is quite a good deal in that each title is licensed for approximately
$294.00. If the customer would like to receive the fourteen CD-ROM PowerPoint version, the price is
$200.00 available only with the purchase of the DVD version (within the same shopping session).
"Meeting the Criteria for a Meeting" is a fourteen minute DVD, sells for $165.00, and comes with a
Training Guide, a Meeting Template, a Minutes Template (formal and informal), a Sign-In Template, a
Business Etiquette and Procedure Guide as well as two brief MPEG videos on how to complete the
agenda form and the minutes form. Licensing is available for $500.00. The included videos do not
require licensing, only the DVD presentation.

SETTING UP A PROJECT FOR AN AUDIENCE
Our projects are ideally suite for the intimacy of single viewing and can be equally effective with larger
groups provided the audio is amplified adequately and the lighting is adjusted to allow for unobstructed
viewing. Please note there are times when silence is used for effect; therefore, no adjustment for
sound level is needed.
For full impact, it is recommended there be little introduction. To fully absorb the presentation, it is
highly recommended no one take notes. A positive discussion and/or written format should follow the
presentation. For your convenience, a Training Guide accompanies each project.

STYLE OF PRESENTATION
There are millions of ways to present a subject using hundreds of effective tools. We believe, at the
core of each project, compassion and understanding is the foundation. For any training program to be
effective, positive self-image, efficiency and responsibility must be reinforced.
We want a viewer with a problem to know they are not alone and can change.
We want a viewer without the problem to become aware and sensitive for the viewer with the problem.
This is true education and makes for engaged viewing.
Our projects are not to be intellectualized but experience. Change comes from a shift in attitude and a
broadening of perspective. At PowerSplash Project, all we do is open the door and widen the view.

WHY POWERPOINT IN ADDITION TO DVD
Tired of old videos that are long in length and short on results? We have the answer:
At PowerSplash Project, we create informative and captivating safety and behavioral training solutions
in DVD format as well as CD-ROM PowerPoint.
You thought you knew PowerPoint: a boring way of viewing charts, graphs and slides.
Why do we use PowerPoint as well as Video? First, dramatic impact. By integrating new and exciting
slides, video, narration, music and effects, we can mirror reality in ways more emotional and effective
than video. Second, convenience. Since a PowerPoint viewer is included in each CD, a PowerPoint
program is not needed to play ... and there is inexpensive technology available to transmit viewing from
your PC to a TV. Third, affordability. PowerPoint offers outstanding quality at a modest price.
Though much of our work is created on PowerPoint 2007, we want our audiences to experience the
final product in an easy-to-package-and-view format. Therefore, through the PowerPoint 2003 viewer
provided in each CD, each project can be played on any PC regardless if you have a PowerPoint
product installed. Please note our products are compatible with PowerPoint versions 98 and higher.
Of course, we also offer all of our titles in DVD format.
