Just recently we discovered a nice way was to run a competition and then mention that you'll be announcing the winners on Twitter, Facebook and Google+. The competition isn't over yet but I'm hopeful that most the followers that we've accumulated will stick around if we state that first notification of any future competitions will be done via our social networking profiles.
I don't think the prize necessarily has to be elaborate, just enough to get some engagement.

Hi Vikas_Rana,
As you said, simply sharing awesome content (doesn't have to be restricted to the niche of the business) helps a great lot in increasing the overall following and +1s of the Google+ page.
Other ways:
- help out people out if they ask questions (e.g. a comment on an article)
- Comment on other users' status updates (being funny helps :)!)
-
if you haven't done so, share the G+ page on different social media
-
share interesting posts of others.
Also the following article will be of help:

Good luck!

- Make it easy for people to follow or +1. Have it clearly visible on your site. Most people are lazy and won't go out of their way to do so unless it's very easy for them to do so. Use social media widgets, icons etc.
- At the end of any blog posts/important content, remind people to follow you
- Get involved in other people's conversations. Offer your point of view. Make it meaningful, however. Don't just comment for the sake of it.
- Share other people's content and always mention them when sharing their content. They'll be appreciative of your share and often follow back.
- Don't be afraid to follow others. Find people in your niche. Interact. Become part of that community.
Hope this helps!

IMO, you can do everything including prayer and not get Google+ action. Most people have no idea what it is.
SEOs and Google employees are the only people who care about Google+
They will abandon it soon. Spend your valuable time on other work.
