Houston based marketing agency vows to help small and local businesses thrive through the pandemic with free tools to attract customers and grow online presence

The Gudz^TM, a Texas-based digital marketing and public relations agency, launched their ‘BRCK2CLCK^SM‘ initiative on December 1, 2020. The initiative aims to help 100 businesses prepare for new COVID-19 surges’ financial impact on local and small businesses. The program helps companies optimize their online presence through a free suite of digital tools. 

“As COVID-19 hospitalizations climb in Texas, we are dedicated to supporting Main Street USA through another possible round of closures, reduce capacity orders, or stay-at-home orders. The only way my team and I know how to do this is by helping small and local businesses pivot toward digital solutions to attract customers to thrive through the pandemic,” said Alysia Gradney, Founder and Principal at The Gudz. 

The BRCK2CLCK initiative helps brick-and-mortar businesses transition their offerings to clickable online sales opportunities. By signing up for BRCK2CLCK, business owners have 90-day free access to a suite of tools that will help them discover new ways to reach customers, optimize their website, highlight services, market products, sell offerings, and generate reviews.

“As a small business owner, I know how hard it is to overcome the financial impact of these uncertain times,” Gradney said. “The pandemic has created new challenges for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and local businesses to overcome. By launching BRCK2CLCK we hope to help 100 businesses by showing them how to conduct business online, attract customers online, and virtually connect with the communities and customers they serve.”
