Tips and tricks for managing your business with Google’s solutions
12 Google+ Events Tips for 12/12/12
Wednesday, December 12, 2012
Today, on 12/12/12--the last time this century that the day, month, and year are all the same--we’re bringing you and your business 12 tips on using
Google+ Events
. From the employee holiday party to your business’s New Year’s sale, check out ways that you can use Events not just to be a party pro, but also to engage your guests before, during, and after your event!
Use Google+ to
create an event
that takes place either offline (such as an event in your store) or online (like a virtual meet and greet with your ownership team).
Invite
anyone you like. Guests who don’t use Google+ will be able to view and respond to the invitation. Guests who do use Google+ will be able to comment, invite others, and add photos, unless you disable these features.
Choose a theme
to add flare to your event and represent your business’s personality. Hosting your yearly company party? Having a holiday sale? Choose the theme that best fits your event.
Manage your
guest list
by adding or removing invitees at any time. You can change guests’ rights, such as whether they can comment, add photos, or invite more people to your event by using the
Actions
menu.
Add photos and videos
to your event to share a collection of media with your guests before and after an event. By default, all guests can contribute to an event’s photo collection. For public events, anyone can contribute photos.
Enable
Party Mode
so that Android mobile users can automatically upload their photos to the event page while the event is in progress.
Add a hangout
to your event so you can video chat with customers or co-workers before or during the event.
Use
Events on mobile
for your Android phone to create and moderate your events, share photos and comments, and get directions to events, all while you’re on the go.
Make your event
public
to increase visibility and allow more potential customers to find it and interact with the event’s page. For public events, anyone can say they’re going, add comments and photos, and invite others, unless these settings are disabled.
Host an
Event on air
so that anyone can find and view your event, but the event page itself is more . Events on air have a limited guest list, and only invited guests can add photos and comments (unless this setting is disabled).
From the
Events homepage
, click
Find more events
to browse public events and get ideas for yours. If you make your event public, others will be able to find your event this way as well.
You can add additional information fields to your event, like a link to buy tickets, your business’s website, or a YouTube channel. When you’re creating your event, just click Event Options > Advanced > Show additional fields.
