Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the key elements of Hicostume's tone (Enthusiastic, Passionate, Informative, Detail-Oriented, Aspiring Community-Focus, Direct) with examples of do's and don'ts. This ensures anyone writing copy understands and can replicate the voice.
• •Immerse in Fandom Language (Authentically): Understand and subtly incorporate language, popular hashtags, and references relevant to the specific cosplay, anime, gaming, or movie communities the costume relates to. Avoid forced or outdated slang. The current use of hashtags like #fallout is a good example.
• •Balance Enthusiasm with Factual Detail: While being excited is good, always back it up with concrete details about the costume's materials, construction, included items, and sizing, as seen in their better product descriptions. This reinforces the 'quality' and 'detail-oriented' values.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, Quality: Instead of just saying 'high quality,' describe *why* it's high quality. Mention specific fabrics, hand-made aspects, tailor-made options, or durability features. For example, 'Our costumes aren't just outfits; they're handcrafted pieces designed for both show and comfort.'
• •Maintain a Consistent Tone Across All Platforms: Whether it's a TikTok caption, a YouTube video description, a product page, or a customer service email, the core tone should be recognizable. This builds brand identity and trust. Regularly review content across platforms for consistency.

Social Perception

Some customers are satisfied with the product quality and selection. Others express disappointment with quality inconsistencies, customer service responsiveness, and shipping issues. This suggests a gap between the brand's promises (high quality, customer satisfaction) and some customers' actual experiences. The brand is mentioned in online articles and reviews as a notable costume retailer. Their social media and new collections reflect current pop culture phenomena (e.g., Fallout, Hazbin Hotel, various anime and movie characters).
