Our first-ever online trade show for the U.S. gift industry didn’t just launch — it delivered. Thousands of buyers, retailers, and gift professionals showed up, engaged, and connected. And to the vendors who trusted us from day one — thank you. This wasn’t just a successful debut. It was proof of what’s possible when we build something together. And we’re only getting started.
As of Friday, we officially wrapped our first-ever U.S. edition of The Gift Fair USA online trade show — and what a debut it was. 👏
When we launched The Gift Fair USA, our goal was simple: create a focused, high-quality online trade show experience for the U.S. gift industry. What followed exceeded even our most ambitious expectations.
The numbers speak for themselves.
For an inaugural U.S. online trade show, this level of engagement confirms what we’ve always believed: the gift industry is ready for smarter, more accessible ways to bring vendors and buyers together.
Compared to previous editions, The Gift Fair USA saw significant growth in reach, engagement, and exhibitor ROI — marking a major step forward for the XpoFairs online trade show model as we continue expanding globally.
Real Engagement. Real Results.
Online trade shows should do more than generate impressions — they should generate measurable business opportunities.
At The Gift Fair USA virtual trade show:
Vendors connected with high-quality retailers actively sourcing new products
Buyers discovered trusted wholesale suppliers across top-performing categories
Brands built meaningful partnerships, including cross-border opportunities
An average of 297 leads per exhibitor isn’t just a statistic — it represents real conversations, follow-ups, wholesale orders, and long-term retail relationships in the making.
To every vendor who trusted us with your brand: thank you. The results speak volumes.
These insights not only highlight current retail trends within the U.S. gift market, but also help shape how we design future online trade fair editions.
