START TODAY!
Ten Ton Media, as a nonprofit marketing company, aims to support organizations and small businesses that align with our mission and have limited resources to access professional marketing services. While we strive to assist as many organizations as possible, the availability of our resources is a determining factor in qualifying potential clients.
Our Process
Our Target Clients Are:
Nonprofits & Small Businesses
Although we cater to nonprofits and small business, we also serve other businesses. We have worked with small-large, for profit companies. Feel free to reach out to us to find out how your company can help serve our mission through hiring us for your marketing needs, donating, volunteering and/or spreading the word to help promote Ten Ton Media.
STEP 1

Qualification Criteria
Nonprofit Status
We prioritize working with registered nonprofit organizations that have obtained official recognition from relevant government bodies. This ensures that our services are primarily directed towards organizations dedicated to social impact and community development.
Financial Need
We consider the financial situation of potential clients to determine the level of support they require. We may require organizations to provide financial statements or other documentation that demonstrates limited resources and financial need. This helps us ensure that our services are reaching those who may not have the means to access professional marketing services.
Mission Alignment
We evaluate the alignment between Ten Ton Media's mission and the goals and values of potential clients. We seek to work with organizations whose missions and causes resonate with our commitment to social impact, community empowerment, and positive change.
Potential Impact
We assess the potential impact of our support on the organization's goals and the wider community it serves. We consider the scope of the organization's work, the beneficiaries, and the reach and influence of their media initiatives. This allows us to prioritize organizations that can maximize the positive impact of our services.
Resource Availability
As a nonprofit organization ourselves, our resources are limited. The availability of discounted or free services will depend on the demand we receive and the capacity of our team at any given time. We may need to balance the number of clients we can serve effectively with the resources available.
STEP 2
CompleteApplication
Discount Service Application (DSA)
We understand the financial challenges faced by many nonprofits/small businesses, and we are committed to helping them thrive by offering discounted and free services. While we strive to provide as much assistance as possible, the availability of discounted or free services is subject to certain qualification criteria and the availability of our resources. To determine eligibility for discounted or free services, we consider factors such as the nature of the organization, its mission, impact, and financial limitations. We assess each application on a case-by-case basis to ensure that our limited resources are allocated to those who can benefit the most from our services. Our DSA is straightforward and meant to be completed by an authorized representative of the organization who is applying for discounted or free services. It can be completed in 30 minutes.
STEP 3
Book Consultation
Discount Service Application (DSA)
This consultation serves as an initial assessment to determine the eligibility of clients for discounted and free services. During this session, the marketing experts at Ten Ton Media gather relevant information and engage in a comprehensive discussion to understand the specific needs and goals of the nonprofit organization or small business beyond the DSA. The consultation typically follows a structured process that includes the following steps: 1.Scheduling the Consultation: The nonprofit organization contacts Ten Ton Media to schedule the consultation. This can be done through various communication channels, such as our online booking system, phone or email. 2.Preliminary Information Gathering: Prior to the consultation, Ten Ton Media may request the nonprofit organization to provide some basic details about their mission, current marketing strategies (if any), target audience, and any specific challenges or objectives they are facing. This information helps the team to tailor the consultation to the organization's unique circumstances beyond the information gathered from our DSA. 3.Introduction and Discovery: At the beginning of the consultation, the our creative directors will introduce themselves and explain the purpose of the session. They may ask the nonprofit organization representative to provide an overview of their organization, its mission, and the services or programs they offer. 4.Needs Assessment:  We will then engage in a detailed discussion to understand the nonprofit's marketing needs, challenges, and goals. We aim to gain a holistic understanding of the nonprofit's situation and identify areas where Ten Ton Media can offer assistance. 5.Eligibility Evaluation: Based on the information gathered during the consultation, and from the information provided by the nonprofit through our DSA, we evaluate the nonprofit organization's eligibility for discounted and free services. This assessment takes into account various factors such as the nonprofit's financial situation, impact on the community, alignment with Ten Ton Media's mission, and available resources. 6.Service Recommendations: After discussing the nonprofit's eligibility, our creative directors will make recommendations on the services that would best suit the organization's needs and goals. This may include a range of marketing strategies such as branding, social media management, website development, digital advertising, content creation, or public relations. 7.Discussion of Pricing and Discounts: If the nonprofit organization qualifies for discounted services or pro bono work, our creative directors will discuss the pricing structure and any available discounts. They explain the terms and conditions associated with the discounted or free services and address any questions or concerns the nonprofit organization may have. 8.Next Steps: Towards the end of the consultation, we will outline the next steps for the nonprofit organization to proceed with engaging their services. This may involve providing a formal proposal, scheduling follow-up meetings, or initiating the onboarding process if the nonprofit decides to move forward. Overall, our free, thirty-minute consultation is designed to determine the eligibility of nonprofit organizations for discounted and free marketing services. It allows both parties to assess compatibility, discuss needs and goals, and explore potential collaboration to support the nonprofit's marketing efforts.
