Have you recently landed a job as a mascot performer? If so, the organization has demonstrated their confidence in you being the right person for the job. This is the time to reward their faith in you with your first mascot performance.

When you are in that custom mascot costume, you’re now the face of the brand that employs you. You are responsible for engaging with the company’s audience, driving brand awareness and building excitement for the event you’re attending.

Mascots performers are in part athlete, dancer, actor and clown. They create brand recognition, generate excitement, get your fans and followers involved and champion your organization’s mascot marketing strategy.

As a defining part of your brand’s overall message, it is important that your mascot performer takes their responsibilities seriously. This will ensure they represent your organization, team or company to the best of their ability.

The key to your company’s mascot performer putting on a good show is ensuring they are comfortable in their costume, no matter what type of weather conditions they are performing in.

While it may look like a mascot costume will be warm and toasty through the fall and winter months, even the most active performers can be subject to cold weather.

The weather is getting warmer and soon the dog days of summer will be here. With summer comes festivals, events and outdoor activities – all of which are excellent places to get your custom mascot in front of your fans and potential customers.

Performing in the summer, however, takes some planning if you want to ensure that your mascot performer stays cool and comfortable. 

Being a mascot performer can be a lot of fun, but there are some things you need to remember as a performer to ensure that you do the best job possible - including the things you shouldn’t do.

Sunshine, snow, sleet, rain, high winds – you never know what to expect once the colder months arrive. And while it is fun to be a mascot, being uncomfortable while doing so is sure to show in your performer’s personality throughout the day and it can be a danger to their health and safety.

The best thing you can do for your performer is purchase a high-quality mascot costume designed for all conditions.
