Supporting materials are informative materials that serve as a foundation for assertions, ideas, or statements, with three purposes: They clarify, they prove, and they add interest. Common types of verbal supporting materials in business fall into six categories: Explanations, comparisons, illustrations, examples, statistics, and expert opinion. These six times often overlap and using more than one helps hold audience interest. Some support types clarify only; others clarify and prove.
