New recurring video series hosted by Michael Kryshak will highlight unusual, historic, and innovative wipe products from Rebel Converting’s extensive collection
MILWAUKEE, WI — June 1, 2026 — Rebel Converting is bringing the history of wipes to LinkedIn with the launch of a new recurring video series, “Wipe of the Day.” Hosted by Rebel Converting President Michael Kryshak, the series will feature unique items from the company’s well-known Museum of Wipes, giving viewers a closer look at how wipes, packaging, cleaning products, and disposable hygiene solutions have changed over the past several decades.
The series begins June 1, 2026, and will showcase one product at a time from Rebel Converting’s collection, which includes more than 10,000 wipe-related items gathered over many years. From vintage baby wipes and disinfecting wipes to industrial products, international packaging, novelty wipes, and unusual market experiments, the museum offers a rare look at the evolution of an everyday product category.
Each “Wipe of the Day” video will share the story behind a featured item, including what makes it interesting, how it fits into the broader wipes industry, and what it may reveal about consumer behavior, manufacturing trends, product innovation, or packaging design.
“For years, we’ve collected wipes that tell a bigger story about this industry,” said Mike Kryshak, President of Rebel Converting. “Some products were ahead of their time, some were fun or unusual, and others show how much the market has changed. This series gives us a chance to share those stories in a simple and engaging way.”
A Museum Dedicated to Wipe History
Although wipes are used every day in homes, businesses, healthcare settings, and industrial environments, many people do not realize how much innovation has shaped the category. Rebel Converting’s Museum of Wipes preserves that history through products that reflect changes in:
Baby and personal care wipes
Household cleaning wipes
Industrial and commercial wipes
Healthcare and disinfecting products
Sustainable and biodegradable wipe materials
Packaging formats, labeling, and branding
The collection also highlights broader industry shifts, including changing consumer expectations, regulatory requirements, sustainability efforts, and advances in manufacturing technology.
Connecting Industry History with Modern Manufacturing
Rebel Converting is a U.S.-based wet wipe contract manufacturer serving brands across a wide range of markets. The company provides custom wet wipe manufacturing, dry wipe converting, formulation support, private label production, packaging solutions, and regulatory guidance for customers developing wipe products.
Unlike manufacturers that sell their own consumer brands, Rebel Converting focuses exclusively on helping customers bring their own wipe products to market. Its capabilities include hygienic wipes, industrial wipes, coreless rolls, dry wipes, EPA-registered disinfectant wipes, FDA-regulated products, and sustainable wipe solutions.
With the “Wipe of the Day” series, Rebel Converting is combining its industry experience with its commitment to preserving the product history that helped shape modern wipe manufacturing.

MILWAUKEE, WI (April 29, 2026) — What started as a simple bike donation drive has evolved into one of southeastern Wisconsin’s most impactful grassroots community initiatives. This year, Rebel Converting’s partnership at the 16th Annual Bike Collection Drive once again proved the power of collective action—drawing hundreds of donors to Milwaukee’s lakefront and generating a wave of support for local families in need.
From early morning through midday, community members lined up to donate gently used bicycles, transforming a single morning into a movement fueled by generosity, purpose, and shared impact.
A Community Effort with Tangible Impact
The event, held in partnership with Lake Express Ferry, incentivized giving with complimentary roundtrip ferry tickets for the first 500 donors—an initiative valued at six figures and designed to maximize participation.
But the real value lies beyond the tickets.
Each donated bike will be refurbished and redistributed to children and families across Milwaukee—many of whom rely on these bikes not just for recreation, but for transportation, independence, and connection to their community.
More Than a Manufacturer: A Mission-Driven Organization
For Rebel Converting, a leading U.S. wet wipe contract manufacturer, the annual bike drive represents more than philanthropy—it reflects a core belief that businesses have a responsibility to invest in the communities they serve.
Through its outreach arm, Rebel Reform, the company has led a wide range of initiatives—from distributing millions of face masks during the pandemic to supporting nonprofits throughout southeastern Wisconsin.
“Events like this are a reminder that when people come together, real change happens,” said Loretta Kryshak, Executive Director of Rebel Reform. “A bike may seem simple, but for a child, it can mean freedom, confidence, and opportunity.”
Momentum Continues with Upcoming Community Event
The impact of the bike collection doesn’t end with donations. The refurbished bikes will be distributed at the upcoming Southside Bike Day at Kosciuszko Park this June, an annual event that brings together families, volunteers, and local organizations to promote healthy, active lifestyles.
A Growing Legacy of Giving
Now in its 16th year, the Bike Collection Drive continues to grow in both scale and significance. With each passing year, it reinforces a simple but powerful message: when businesses and communities align around a shared purpose, the results extend far beyond a single event.
As Milwaukee continues to face economic and social challenges, initiatives like this serve as a blueprint for how local companies can drive meaningful, measurable change one bike at a time.
Milwaukee, WI — December 16, 2025 — Just One More Ministry (JOMM), Milwaukee’s leading Christian food rescue organization, today announced the launch of its annual Year-End Fundraiser, “The Best Bargain in Charity — Rescued Food for Just 14 Cents Per Pound.” The campaign aims to raise $100,000 by year’s end to support the ministry’s mission of transforming food waste into nourishment for Milwaukee families facing hunger. Funds raised will help sustain operations projected to deliver more than five tons of rescued food per day in 2025.
Founded in 2013 by recovered addict Chris Capper, Just One More Ministry began with a simple act—rescuing and distributing just 20 loaves of bread. Today, the organization has grown into a regional food rescue leader, having distributed more than 30 million pounds of food since its founding. JOMM now partners with nearly 90 grocery stores, restaurants, food suppliers, inner-city churches, and community organizations, rescuing and distributing approximately 3.5 million pounds of nutritious food annually and sustaining more than 17,000 meals each week for Milwaukee’s hungry, homeless, veterans, seniors, and families living in food deserts.
Water this tree to provide 5 tons of food daily to the hungry.
“This Year-End Fundraiser isn’t just about dollars—it’s about dignity, hope, and impact,” said Chris Capper, Founder and Executive Director of Just One More Ministry. “For just 14 cents per pound, donors help turn food that would otherwise be wasted into life-sustaining meals. Every dollar raised provides approximately seven pounds of rescued food, making this truly the best bargain in charity. We’re inviting our community to help ‘water the JOMM Giving Tree’ and help us bloom even brighter in the year ahead.”The math behind “Rescued Food.”
JOMM operates with an efficiency-driven model designed to maximize donor impact. Food rescue and distribution costs are kept low, with volunteers powering operations six days a week, ensuring that donor dollars stretch further to meet rising community needs. In 2024, the ministry exceeded projected impact goals, continuing a decade of steady growth that includes the acquisition of a 24,000-square-foot warehouse in 2019 and the launch of weekly mobile outreach trucks in 2021 to serve underserved neighborhoods across Milwaukee.
Donations can be made securely online at www.jomministry.org/donate, with options for one-time gifts, recurring monthly support, and employer matching gifts. Every contribution directly supports JOMM’s dual mission: providing wholesome food to those in need while offering prayer-based encouragement and addiction recovery support to individuals seeking stability and healing.
As the holiday season unfolds, Just One More Ministry invites individuals, families, businesses, and faith communities to join the movement. More than $17,000 has already been raised, but additional support is urgently needed to reach the $100,000 goal and sustain critical services into 2025.
About Just One More Ministry
Just One More Ministry is a faith-based nonprofit dedicated to being the hands and feet of Jesus Christ in Milwaukee. By rescuing nutritious food that would otherwise go to waste and distributing it free of charge to partner organizations, JOMM addresses food insecurity while providing spiritual encouragement and addiction recovery support.

In the fast-evolving world of digital marketing, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is emerging as the next frontier, poised to redefine how businesses enhance their online visibility. As AI-powered search platforms like Grok, ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, and Perplexity gain prominence, traditional SEO is no longer enough. This blog explores what Generative Engine Optimization is, how it relates to and differs from traditional SEO, and why it’s becoming a game-changer for marketers.
What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?
Generative Engine Optimization is the practice of optimizing digital content to rank higher in responses generated by AI-driven conversational search engines, often called generative engines. Unlike traditional search engines that rely on keyword matching and link-based algorithms, generative engines use large language models (LLMs) to deliver intent-driven, conversational answers. GEO focuses on tailoring content to align with these AI models’ preferences, ensuring it’s authoritative, relevant, and easily digestible.
For example, when a user asks, “What’s the best CRM for small businesses?” a generative engine might summarize insights from multiple sources, prioritizing content optimized for clarity, structure, and expertise. Generative Engine Optimization ensures your content stands out in these AI-crafted responses, driving visibility and engagement.
How GEO Relates to Traditional SEO
While Generative Engine Optimization builds on the foundations of traditional SEO, it adapts to the unique demands of AI-driven search. Here’s how the two are related:
Shared Goals: Both GEO and traditional SEO aim to improve online visibility and drive organic traffic. They emphasize high-quality content, user intent, and technical optimization.
Keyword Relevance: Keywords, including Generative Engine Optimization, remain critical. In traditional SEO, keywords are used to match search queries, while GEO uses them to align with AI’s understanding of user intent.
Content Quality: Both prioritize well-structured, authoritative content that satisfies user needs, adhering to white-hat SEO standards like those outlined by Google’s E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness).
Technical Optimization: Clean code, fast load times, and mobile-friendliness benefit both traditional search engines and generative engines.
These similarities make GEO a natural evolution of SEO, leveraging existing best practices while introducing new strategies tailored to AI.
Key Differences Between GEO and Traditional SEO
Despite their overlap, Generative Engine Optimization diverges from traditional SEO in significant ways, reflecting the shift from keyword-based to intent-based search. Here are the key differences:
Algorithm Focus:
Traditional SEO: Targets crawler-based search engines like Google, which rely on PageRank, backlinks, and keyword density to rank pages.
GEO: Optimizes for AI models that prioritize semantic understanding, context, and intent, often synthesizing answers from multiple sources without direct links.
Content Structure:
Traditional SEO: Emphasizes keyword-stuffed meta tags, headers, and alt text to boost crawlability.
GEO: Focuses on structured, scannable content (e.g., bullet points, FAQs) that AI can easily parse and summarize, with less reliance on meta tags.
User Intent:
Traditional SEO: Matches content to specific search queries, often prioritizing exact-match keywords.
GEO: Aligns content with conversational queries, anticipating how AI interprets broad or nuanced user intent (e.g., “best CRM” vs. “CRM for small businesses with automation”).
Performance Metrics:
Traditional SEO: Success is measured by click-through rates, impressions, and SERP rankings.
GEO: Success hinges on visibility in AI-generated responses, which may not involve direct clicks but rather brand exposure in summarized answers.
Multimodal Optimization:
Traditional SEO: Primarily focuses on text-based content with some image optimization.
GEO: Incorporates text, images, videos, and structured data (e.g., JSON-LD) to cater to generative engines’ ability to process diverse formats.
These differences highlight why Generative Engine Optimization requires a fresh approach, even for seasoned SEO professionals.
Why GEO Matters for the Future of Digital Marketing
As generative engines become the go-to for search—handling over 20% of queries in 2025, per industry estimates—Generative Engine Optimization is critical for staying competitive. Research shows GEO-optimized content achieves 30-40% higher visibility in AI responses, offering a significant edge. Here’s why marketers should prioritize GEO:
AI Adoption Surge: 65% of organizations now use generative AI regularly, doubling in under a year, signaling a shift in how users access information.
Conversational Search Growth: Platforms like Perplexity and ChatGPT are reshaping user behavior, favoring natural language queries over traditional keyword searches.
Brand Authority: GEO emphasizes E-E-A-T principles, helping businesses establish trust and credibility in AI-generated answers.
Early adopters, like agencies optimizing for clients such as Salesforce, are already seeing results, with GEO driving higher engagement in AI-driven channels.
How to Optimize for Generative Engine Optimization
To leverage Generative Engine Optimization, marketers can adopt these white-hat strategies, building on traditional SEO principles:
Create Authoritative Content: Publish in-depth, well-researched content backed by credible sources. Use clear citations to boost trustworthiness.
Structure for AI: Use headings, bullet points, and FAQs to make content scannable. For example, include a section like “What is Generative Engine Optimization?” to address common queries.
Focus on Intent: Anticipate conversational queries and craft content that answers them directly, using natural language and context.
Incorporate Multimodal Elements: Enhance content with relevant images, videos, and structured data to appeal to AI’s multimodal capabilities.
Monitor Performance: Use tools like HubSpot’s AI Search Grader to track GEO performance and refine strategies.
By blending these tactics with traditional SEO—such as optimizing for keywords like Generative Engine Optimization and ensuring mobile-friendliness—marketers can maximize visibility across both search paradigms.
Challenges and Considerations
While Generative Engine Optimization offers immense potential, it’s not without hurdles:
Skill Gaps: GEO requires understanding AI algorithms, which may demand retraining for SEO teams.
Tool Limitations: Few tools are explicitly designed for GEO, though platforms like SEMrush are beginning to adapt.
Cost: Implementing GEO, especially multimodal content, can be resource-intensive for smaller businesses.
Despite these challenges, the long-term benefits of GEO make it a worthwhile investment as AI search continues to grow.
Conclusion: Embrace GEO to Stay Ahead
Generative Engine Optimization is not just a buzzword—it’s the future of digital marketing. By building on traditional SEO while adapting to the nuances of AI-driven search, GEO empowers businesses to thrive in a conversational, intent-driven world. Start optimizing for Generative Engine Optimization today to ensure your brand remains visible, authoritative, and competitive in the age of generative engines.
