Meet
Birds Barbershop
, a collection of five hair salons in Austin, Texas. Jayson Rapaport and Michael Portman dreamed of reinterpreting the old school barbershop for a new generation through affordable, quality cuts, free beer — and now Google+. Watch this pair of big thinking entrepreneurs as they use Google+ to speak directly with their regulars and create a virtual lookbook using Google+ photos.
Google+ Pages
is a great tool for coordinating internal communications. In the video below, see how Michael and Jayson use their page to expand to a new location.
On Google+, users get unlimited photo and video uploads — a great opportunity to show off your business’s space, new merchandise, or a recent event you hosted. Here are some quick tips on how to create albums of beautiful photos to show off your business:
Edit your photos
with basic features like rotating images or using auto-fix. You can use the
Creative Kit
for more advanced edits like adding effects and text to your pictures.
Manage your images quickly by using the photos icon at the top of your Google+ dashboard to
change the share settings
for all of your albums in one place.
Change the visibility
of your albums so you can pick who sees what. For example, you might want to share photo of your products with your customers, and pictures from company events with just your employees.
