Use character colour as the starting point
Set one or two principal colours and clear accent rules, then apply them to mascot costumes, doll outfits, staff clothing or event accessories. Different people can use different items while remaining visibly part of the same character identity.
Separate event mascot and staff needs
An event mascot needs visibility, ventilation and room to move, while staff may need more readily identifiable clothing. List the different uses, quantities and sizes separately to speed up quotation and artwork planning.
Plan for repeat orders and event dates
New terms, campaign periods and event dates can all change the quantity required. Keep approved artwork and size records so future replenishment or mascot range extensions are easier to manage.
