Most of the readers who “bounce” from your presentation (don’t interact with it whatsoever), do it within 15 seconds of opening.
Make your first three slides stunning: if a reader goes through these three, there’s an 80% chance they’ll read the presentation in full.

With Storydoc, you can easily add your own .mp4 files to the presentation or embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, and more.
It’s not just about fancy animations and moving graphics. If you let viewers “play around” with your presentation—add a live data calculator or even tabs to click through, here’s what you can achieve:
+22% in average reading time
+41% more presentations read in full.

On average, almost a third (32%) of all presentations are opened on mobile. This includes:
47% of outreach decks,
37% of sales decks,
19% of proposals.
Especially at the top of the funnel (when it’s the first or one of the first presentations you’re sending to this customer), make mobile your top priority. Pinching in and out on PDFs just isn’t fun…
For Storydoc’s interactive and 100% mobile-responsive presentations, the average mobile reading time was just 21% shorter than the desktop one.
If your prospect hasn’t opened the presentation within 48 hours of receiving it, they’re less than 20% likely to ever do it.
(And no, it doesn’t mean all hope is lost. But it’s crucial to follow up with those customers instead of hoping they’ll magically rediscover that email you sent over 2 days ago.)
Information on average reading time: +24% more people start to interact with the presentation. (Yes, we know it's working, notice what we did in the header of this piece, wink wink.)
