Circles

Businesses can use Google+'s Circles feature in the same way that end users do: As a way to organize followers into separate "circles," or groups based on specific interests. A small business, for instance, could group customers by location, or perhaps create separate circles for customers and employees. The benefit to you is the ability to send messages tailored to meet the unique needs of your followers. Example: Employees care that it's Staff Appreciation Day, but your customers probably don't.
