Retail Innovations Conference & Expo – transcript
Rick Fox: Greetings, My name is Rick Fox, Vice President and Business Development for Bish Creative.
Ray Gottschalk: Hi, I’m Ray Gottschalk, I am Vice President of the west, based in Southern California. I am also the newest member of the Bish team and I was really excited to be able to attend the Retail Innovation Conference and Expo. I have been doing these retail expo’s and conferences for a long time and pre-pandemic in 2018 and 2019, you really started to see attendance dropping not a lot of excitement. So going into this show, I didn’t know what to expect and I was really, really excited to see the crowds come back. You saw a wide range of companies both brands and retailers from all across the United States and everybody that was there was really engaged. It was refreshing to be, you know live again with people. All around a great show.
Rick Fox: Bish is so excited that these in-person events have come back. It was refreshing to be actually meeting people shaking hands, given hugs and getting to know and build relationships. Grow the relationships that we already have and meet some new people to begin building those relationships.
Ray Gottschalk: One of the things that I noticed was that attendees were genuinely excited to see what was going on in the physical retail world and they got a good taste of that in the Bish booth. At the show itself there were a lot of software companies, AI, there were social media amplification companies, a lot of digital stuff going on. So when attendees got to our booth and they were able to see what they could do to create engagement with shoppers in that kind of physically unique retail way, they were really excited to hear more about how Bish could help them engage shoppers and create that immersive experience.
Rick Fox: The genuine excitement that everyone had when they came past our booth, seeing the interactivity, getting engaged with how our team gives you that unique brand identity that every brand deserves, not every brand is the same. So, let our team take your brand and get it noticed out there, get off the shelf, get out there where people are gonna be engaged and wanna purchase that and make that experience for the consumer.
Ray Gottschalk: We had some really fun and exciting displays in our booth. One of the things we wanted to do was give attendees a chance to see how they can engage shoppers in today’s retail environment and we had a wide range of experiences for them to check out.
Rick Fox: The experience that we shared with everybody that attended the Retail Innovation Conference Expo was fun. The retail experience is meant to be fun. At Bish that’s what we create. So we want to be your partner and make that engagement with the consumer to draw them to your brand which has its own unique identity. As brick and mortar continues to open up and will soon thrive, we hope to see you there soon. Thank you.

Smiles – transcript
Jerry Fox:
Hello again, my name is Jerry Fox, President and CEO of Bish Creative Display. For the last 24 months, we have all lived by the phrase, “The eyes have it.” Today, as we enter back into society and the public, we need our smiles to shine. What makes a great company is its people, its culture and its desire to be successful. What makes Bish Creative Display successful is our team. Today we focus on the team and although the eyes have it, these smiles will shine.
Today I want you to meet the Bish team. We have met. We have laughed. We have worked and we have smiled. From design to production, everyone in our company does everything with a smile. So let’s get out there, enjoy the world around us. Have you noticed the shopping malls and shopping centers of today, the parking lots are filled and the products are flying off the shelf. Retail sales grew in the last couple of months. Restaurants are back to capacity. So please make sure you treat their staff accordingly and reward them accordingly with tips. Churches, as well as concerts, weddings, and other life-changing events and lifetime events are back and we’re enjoying ’em to the highest possibilities. Sporting events, baseball is back. Those are the opportunities that we need to go out there and enjoy life and make those smiles shine. As we come back to the office, meetings, conferences, conventions, make the world around you smile. Our team at Bish, around the entire world that we encompass, much like you, have endured a lot of strife, concern, compassion, and passion. Virtual meetings will probably never go away but perhaps grabbing a coffee with a co-worker is in your future. But regardless, the eyes have it, but we need to make those smiles shine. Enjoy the smiles, till next time.

Interactive Displays – transcript
Jerry Fox:
Hello again, my name is Jerry Fox, President and CEO of Bish Creative Display.
It is 2022, and we are happy to present our 24th edition of Marketing Insights. The holidays are behind us and it is a new year. 2021 came in with a fizzle and 2022 is much the same. Perhaps we focus on progressing ahead, regardless of the circumstances. So I ask you this question:
What is the difference between shopping and buying?
Shopping is exploring, it’s finding things. Buying is just that: it’s buying. The world we live in today is all about technology and digital interaction.
How about we take a step back and consider the most successful way of communicating to customers: human interaction.
Introducing Zuru, in some countries, or 5 Surprise.
How many of you were Toys R Us kids? How many of you were disappointed when they closed? Well, everything in this world needs to be alive and rejuvenated much like Toys R Us. Introducing the Zuru Gumball Machine: a state-of-the-art display that brings human interaction into the store and creates an experience for people of all ages – for the mystery behind a gumball display is timeless.
And today everyone, we have a special treat for you. Today we have Brody, Zoe, and Ellie, let’s Zuru!
Well, that was fun. Thanks Brody. Thanks Zoe. Thanks Ellie
As I said, it’s a new year. Our dear friends and customers for over 65 years, Bish has taken the lead with creativity and innovation. Let us work together on your next project and bring shopping back to life. Till next time.

Aviation, Creatively Strategic Events – transcript
Jerry Fox:
Hello again. My name is Jerry Fox, president and CEO of Bish Creative Display. Welcome to our latest edition of marketing insights. The world of retail marketing is about to change. So buckle up for the ride.
First of all, shopping will never go away, but creating the right experience for your brand, your store, and your customer will change. Consumer dwell time is at its fastest pace ever, thanks to our digital world and the pace we all think and live in today. On average, a consumer would spend 20 to 30 minutes in a store, shopping for their needs and wants. Today, it is less than 10.
So what’s important for your brand? Impact. Consumers need to be engaged, feel a part of your brand story, whether it’s a snack, a piece of fashion, a beverage or anything. Regardless of what your product costs, impact is crucial. The concept of stack it high and watch it fly is gone. Take this Aviation experience piece. You feel a part of an airport experience. Whether this is in store, at an airport, a trade show, or wherever, the consumer is easily transformed into this retro airline experience all the way to the carpeting and of course all the way to the Aviation Gin.
What can Bish do for you? Perhaps it’s a trade show booth, an event experience, a complete store redo, category or aisle reinvention, or a classic in-store merchandising solution. Our goal is to be your holistic resource for your below-the-line marketing needs. Our brains are a combination of right and left. Or in other words, creatively strategic. Take the challenge and take a sip. My friend, Ryan Reynolds, and the Aviation crew are ready to take off. Put your tray tables up, buckle your seat belt, and be prepared for takeoff. Till next time.

Bish Established Alternate Production with Poland & Turkey – transcript
Izabela Kaczmarek:
Hi everyone, I’m Izabela Kaczmarek. I’ve been with BISH for the past eight years and I am a sales and marketing manager out of Paris, France. And we have our manufacturing facilities in Poland and in Turkey, and I’m overseeing those.
BISH Europe services not only European customers to which we offer pan-European transportation, logistics, and warehousing, but we also service U.S. companies to which we are shipping goods by the sea. And currently the freight time takes between 21 to 35 days. That is door to door service. Currently shipping goods out of Europe to the United States gives many advantages to our U.S. clients. The transit times are much shorter as well as there are no tariffs and low congestion as we experience with China these days.
I’m Izabela and I’ll be very happy to give you more information about our manufacturing and transport from Europe to the United States. You can reach me anytime at the number and email address provided at the bottom of this video. For now, have a great day.
