Don't Take Our Word For It - See What Vendors Are Saying

After concluding our premier gift trade show in February 2025 some of our exhibitors shared their experiences. It’s especially great to hear how they found it boosted their wholesale gift business’ brand awareness as well as helping them to meet a new cohort of buyers.

Arrthi Little, our future stars winner said:

“It was a privilege to be part of the inaugural show. We've seen a significant increase in brand awareness thanks to the event itself, as well as the associated marketing, features, and social media!

We are thrilled to be taking part in the Xpofairs The Gift Fair September show where we can put in place everything we learned and bring you an even better stand! Huzzah!”

So enthused with her experience at our online gift show, she has recently announced that she will also be joining The Gift Fair USA! Look our America!

Steve at DCUK seems to think we have a magical crystal ball to understand how he has been craving a combination of a successful online B2B Marketplace like Faire and the longstanding trade shows like Spring Fair or Top Drawer:

“I’ve often thought it’d be awesome to somehow combine the magic of discovery and the real-life interaction of in-person events, with the efficiency and customised experience offered by online marketplaces. It looks like the Gift Fair has been tapping into my brain”

He was not alone with another exhibitor, Lavinia of Santoro saying:

“Participating in the online Gift Fair was an excellent opportunity for us at Santoro to introduce our new brand, Bangoberry, to a broader audience, particularly here in the UK. Already well-received by toy chains, independent stores, and gift shops across Europe, it was thrilling to showcase our fun and colourful products to new buyers and connect with those we might not have reached otherwise.”

Stuart from Blue Sky Studios understood perfectly how our online gift expo can be so useful in conjunction with shows like Spring Fair:

“We are delighted to exhibit at The Gift Fair virtual trade show. It's a brilliant concept as it allows retailers to discover new suppliers and see what existing suppliers are planning to launch in 2025, without having to travel. In addition, the timing is perfect as it allows our customers who cannot make it to the Spring Fair a chance to see what we plan to show, and inspires those visiting the show, to make an effort and visit us.”

Similarly Scott from Rex London was over the moon at how our inaugural show helped him to meet a whole new cohort of visitors, capturing his traditional visitors at the traditional shows and finding a whole new collection of buyers at ours!:

“An online trade show is the ideal platform to showcase our new and bestselling collections in an accessible and engaging way, and we're really looking forward to connecting with retailers who may never have discovered us at a traditional trade show"

Overall, the inaugural show was a great success and a perfect start for the Wholesale Gift industry, but we’re not finished there!

The Gift Fair USA is just around the corner in mid-July and the second edition of The Gift Fair UK is coming in September!
