Increasing A Mascot’s Return on Investment (ROI)
Finding and Increasing your Mascot’s Return of Investment is the best way to get the most “bang for your buck” out of your mascot purchase.
Mascots have many ways of making your brand memorable. They accomplish this through their unique personalities, creative designs, and animated movements. An effective way to express these qualities is by adding mascot accessories! Your style is a key factor in how you choose to express yourself. Accessories, such as a hat representing your favorite sports team, a t-shirt featuring your favorite band, or colorful jewelry showcasing your creative side, are what help you stand out. If you provide this for yourself, why not give the same attention and detail to your mascot!
At Olympus Mascots, we custom-create mascot accessories to tailor them to your specific mascot’s style. Whether it’s a sword for a knight or an eye patch for a pirate, we pay attention to every detail as your mascot comes to life. With all the accessories to choose from, picking what to add to your mascot can be overwhelming. So here are the top five most popular mascot accessories customers choose, along with how they can be customized for your mascot.
Hats are our most popular mascot accessory due to the wide variety of options available. Every hat gives off a different look and feel, making it the perfect finishing touch. For example, Bernie Brewer wears a baseball cap featuring the Milwaukee Brewers logo. Fans buy baseball caps to show their support for the team, so why shouldn’t their own mascot do the same? A hat can also enhance a mascot’s personality. For instance, Kaz Rhino and Gigi Giraffe from the Miami Zoo wear safari hats to showcase their adventurous side. Or a cowboy hat which symbolizes power and authority. Even a penguin wearing a winter cap creates a warm and welcoming feeling. Adding something as simple as a hat can tie your entire mascot together.
At Olympus Mascots, we offer custom-in-house printing capabilities, allowing us to print anything you desire onto a T-shirt. This creative freedom puts T-shirts at our second most popular mascot accessory. We also make our T-shirts custom made to fit your mascot perfectly. While there is always an option to dress your mascot in an adult sized shirt (made for a human), it may not fit well due to the unique build of each mascot. For example, a mascot with muscle padding needs a different size than a mascot with a rounder body. When customized by us, you can be sure it will be a perfect fit.
Our custom mascot T-shirts are also easily removable, which allows for convenient cleaning and gives your mascot a fun costume change! Many clients order multiple T-shirts for different events. For instance, one shirt can be created for promotional events, while another T-shirt can be tailored towards Holiday or athletic events.
Glasses are a fun and easy way to portray your mascot’s personality. Simply adding sunglasses can provide a more tropical feeling if your mascot is in a warm and sunny environment. Or adding black shades can give your mascot confidence and a laid-back attitude. On the other hand, skinny black glasses provide a nerdy look.
Like our other mascot accessories, sunglasses can be removable. This allows you flexibility in your mascot’s look. For instance, if your mascot is at a promotional event but it’s rainy and cloudy outside, it might not make sense for them to be wearing sunglasses. We incorporate inserts into your mascot, secured with Velcro, so you don’t have to worry about losing them when your mascot wears them around the town!
Tennis shoes are not only one of the most popular types of footwear but also serve as a great marketing tool. Athletes often wear creatively designed shoes, and similarly, unique tennis shoes will help your mascot stand out. From printed logos, unique colors, and different designs, tennis shoes are an ideal addition for enhancing your mascot’s marketing potential. For instance, to the left, you can see an enthusiastic blue waterdrop mascot we created for Unidos Contra la Diabetes. The mascot is an excellent representation of their logo and is a memorable character. The connection to the brand isn’t immediately obvious though until you look at their custom-made tennis shoes with the UCD logo printed on them. A simple but creative way for the company to achieve more brand awareness through their mascot.
Another great advantage of custom tennis shoes is that the design follows the same patterns used for all mascot footwear. This ensures your performer will wear them comfortably.
PS – we can create a wide range of custom footwear from boots to Crocs!
Adding a jersey is a fantastic way to boost team spirit and make your mascot a part of the team. Custom-made jerseys allow you to further customize your mascot by including your team’s name, colors or a significant number.
Like T-shirts, jerseys are also removable, providing versatility, especially if your mascot represents a school with multiple sports teams. For example, your mascot can wear a football jersey in the fall and a basketball jersey in the winter creating memorable experiences for students, fans, and players as they see their mascot supporting specific teams. Jerseys are also a great way to represent special occasions. If your team makes the championship game, a unique jersey for that game can make the night even more significant. Or if your team is fundraising you can provide your mascot with a jersey for promotional events. There are endless opportunities to enhance your team spirit by adding jerseys to your mascots.
Accessories are the perfect way to enhance your mascot’s appearance, give them more personality, and foster a better connection with your audience. While our top five most popular accessories accomplish this effectively, they are not the only options we offer. Below are examples of various unique mascot accessories we have created:
