As a teacher, business owner, wife, friend and more, I have much I have to do in my life as I’m sure you do as well. This is why, I’m always looking for time savers that will keep productivity high without sucking all the time from my day. To save time on creating products, I create templates in Powerpoint for all my series of products. These are products that I know will look the same but will have a different theme or concept. Making templates in all aspects of your business can save so much time plus it gives you a cohesive look to your store and products.
How to Create a Template in Powerpoint
- Open Powerpoint and create your template.
- Name your template by saving it.
- Click File –> Save as Template –> Save
- Your template has been created!
To create a new product using your template, you’ll open Powerpoint, then click File –> New From Template. Find your template and begin creating!

Tips When Creating Templates
- Make sure everything is centered. An easy way to do this is to click on whatever it is you want centered then click Arrange –> Align and whatever alignment you want.
- Use tables to create boxes that are the same size. I use tables when creating cards, clip cards, task cards basically any type of card!
- Put in text boxes and type something in them in the font you’ll use so you don’t have to enter new ones each time.
