Google+ page stories: Loluma

Editor’s Note: This is the fourth in a series of posts about small businesses on Google+ and their tips and tricks for managing a great page. Visit our YouTube channel to see all the videos in this series and join the discussion on the Google+ Your Business page

Meet Loluma, a team of artists that designs one-of-a-kind events. Sha Sha Harnik leads the team, as they provide design direction and coordination for wedding and event clients. In the video below, see how she uses Google+ not only to create moments, but also to capture and share them with her wedding clients.


Google+ Hangouts allow you to collaborate through group video chat. Watch Sha Sha hangout with a family of stealthy birthday planners to help them create the ultimate surprise party for their grandma’s 80th birthday.


Try Hangouts with Extras for even more collaborative features. With Extras, you can:

  • Share your screen. With screen sharing, you can let other Hangout attendees see what’s on your screen. Want to share a website with your colleagues, or a design you’re working on with clients? Just select the “Share screen” button at the top.
  • Collaborate on documents in real time. You can share notes and even work on documents at the same time. Perfect for brainstorming sessions!

To get started, select the “Start a hangout” button on the navigation bar along the right. In the yellow bar at the bottom of the pop-up window, select “Hangouts with extras,” and get started!
