I’d come from Columbus and spend 500$ just to get some OG smile more merch . It was such a blessing in my childhood to watch your family grow roman. BTW I used to get my hair cut from your barber .
IDEA: For the back to school items. You should create bundles and give them out to the one who needs them when back to school starts: backpacks, hoodie, school supplies, lanyard, and anything they can use for school.
this is my idea!! include a couple clothing items, water bottle, lanyard, folders- just fill book bags and either sell them in cheap bundles or donate them!
I would create a secret drop website where you receive a code during every vlog at a random time that either gives away a cheap item or a reduced price for something more expensive. It creates retention on the vlogs, allowing for potentially higher monetized videos, plus it clears the inventory. It also allows people who want to be part of the Smile More community to get involved if they can't afford the usual pricing and/or are unable to get to the events where free merch is available. Loving the motivational vlogs as always! Edit: Also, depending on your main store's profit margin, you could add a 10% off voucher in the package for the main store. That might create some additional revenue for your main store that wouldn't have happened previously, effectively using the old stock as a loss leader. Edit 2: Additional idea, you could add an element; for example, every $50 spent could be 1 ticket into a raffle for an all-expenses-paid adventure with yourself. It could also be a collaborative thing with other RUclipsrs who also have merch that they need to sell off, and then you all meet up at the same time to have this adventure. Even if the whole thing cost you $10,000, that's only 2% of your $500,000 worth of stock if it all sells.
This is my favorite version of you! I dont need production value or background music. I prefer the one on one feeling so much more. This is what made youtibe great and it is authentic! I miss the old house and the fun you had with the boys and dogs and friends and family. Thank you for doing these daily videos.
Roman, you said your audience used to be silly kid comments. But now it’s different, you’re missing out on a completely untouched market. We all used to be kids and beg our parents for light bugs, lanyards, “old”merch, hats and literally everything else. I’m an “adult” now at 22 years old, and I go to Walmart to buy some things my mom told me I had to put back on the shelf when I was a kid!! I was never fortunate enough to get merch, especially from a “RUclipsr” in my moms eyes. But growing up you were there for me, with pranks, collabs, and everything else. or going on tour, but I’m an adult with adult money now! Nostalgic merch, the merch we wanted when we were kids but didn’t have our own money…sheeeeeesh if you put it back on the site?! Especially at a discounted price?! And it just might free up inventory space, for new stuff. For the people that get excited from a RUclips channel without a profile picture.
You should make a website for clearance items. Let everyone have a chance to buy something at a reduced price. Then, the remaining items can be sold at in-person events.
I forgot how many items I was going to buy and never got the chance, like the splatter t-shirts, hoodies, hats, lanyards. I only have 1 smile more item. I really missed your videos, glad your back.
FREEDOM FACTORY SMILE MORE STORE!!!! I get sooo many compliments on my shirts.. my neighbors watch you.. kids all over odessa,florida ask if I watch your vids.. I've been called "HEY Roman" BLEW MY MIND THAT DAY💪🤩🤘
Its cool to see the old merch. I know I'd love to have one of the OG Desk pads that I couldn't afford back then but can now. Luckily for you that you aren't having a monthly cost to maintain it. I'd love to see you open up on OG merch shop even if short term. I'd love to get a few things I've always wanted. Whatever is left would be cool to ship to a 3rd world country for kids to wear and make them smile more. I'm sure something like the Samaritans purse could help make it really make a difference especially with such a great and clean message. And it would be blessing others after you've been so blessed. So glad to see you active again Roman. You truly are a great inspiration.
Today is day 2 of my weight loss journey, your videos inspired me to get back on track. Starting weight was 384.2 yesterday. Today I am down to 382.2, 2 pounds down more to come.
One day at a time. You got this!! I’m cheering you on! You’re beautiful you’re one of a kind and smile more like Roman always says. It helps to tell yourself that daily.
Take it day by day my friend! As someone who used to be 300+ it is absolutely possible. Keep dedicated and make sure you’re still enjoying your day to day life. 70% of it is eating right the other 30% is working out. What really helped me was the 21 day fix. Check it out if you don’t already have a plan! Smile more brotha!
Before I tell you my story on my weight loss. I will try to the short story of this. I'm 65, I had congested heart failure how about 8 years ago, I was probably in the 300 lb range. I was trying to get back to work, my boss had congested heart failure and passed away. Which I believe made me shut down. But eventually started working on walking more. Then one day my right leg was like it went to sleep. I had what you call foot drop (I cannot lift my foot up). Then a big knot came up on the inside of my thigh, about the size of a cantaloupe. Then I had flesh eating virus, it was in the muscle that would lift your foot up. This really shut me down big time. I ballooned up to 526. And this is what I started doing to lose weight, first off I do not tell anybody I'm on a diet. Secondly I am not on a diet plan. I eat what I want, just list of it! I do not get on the scale every day, I maybe weekly or even monthly. And I do not get upset if it's only 1 lb, I have been able to lose weight through my life, but I would gain it back plus! So my main target is not to gain. Like I said I started at 526, today I'm 300 lb. I lost 163 of that on my own, but now I'm taking a shot. The shot does work, and I know people that takes a pill to lose weight too! I do feel more pride in what I've lost by myself, butt at 65. I figured I could use the help! The part about not telling anybody you're on a diet. People can be crude as hell. Nobody's going to stick to a diet 100%! They just cutting back on what you eat, you will start one less and less! But let me tell you there will be days that you will fall off the wagon! Just get back on that damn thing, ride through the good days in the bad days! I still got a long ways to go myself! Now go make your story make it happen! Good luck! Sorry this was so long!
I’m beyond thankful for you and your family Roman, watching you growing up, now about to start a family on my own, you going thru the merch was suuch a throwback, thank you truly, OHIO❤️
Brother I just love the fact that your doing this again I miss daily videos to cut it short you lowkey saved my life when you did daily videos back then when I was at my lowest and giving up you Roman Atwood family is the only reason why I am here today thank you 🙏 for doing this again even with only 10 minute post is something I love and needed now that we are adults it doesnt get easier it just gets better and TOO ME your the reason why i am still here and fighting through the hard time and I’d like to say thank you brother. 💪 words from Roman that I have tattooed on me “ DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO SO YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO” Thank you 🙏
1. Donate a bunch of inventory to a bunch of places. 2. Ship a lot to Bunker, put them on the website for dirt cheap. 3. Pop up shops. 4. Events. 5. Franchise Bunker stores. 6. Mystery boxes. 7. Create a store at your Car Wash. Looking forward to seeing what your new business is on Wednesday!
I still remember many years ago when buying some fidget spinners, and my wife reached out to buy some in bulk for her to give to the kids she was doing in school therapy to help them work through the hard times. You just donated them and it made so many kids happy and a big smile on their face when they got it. Thank you again for that!
You’ve already done such a great impact to your community. I suggest growing it some more by providing to the homeless in the streets! 😊I also saw someone comment about back to school supplies 📚
A failure I have had recently is being too good of friends to people who don’t reciprocate it back and take my friendship and kindness for granted. Haven’t said that out loud but felt good to type that out, damn. Love your vids man and love the new channel. Keep posting 🔥🙌🏻
Long time fan! I wanted a chair and waited for the initial release and never had the chance… I love to see you again!!!! And getting to share you and your family with my 2 daughters. I would hope to have the chance again to get a smile more chair
You didn't fail period. Do the work, you can give the communities across America at hospitals and provide a positive message. People might be down at that time in their lives, but you have always had the gift to make people smile more. Thank you
Although I love the casual vlog, I really appreciate these videos where you set out to teach us what you've learned to try and help us do better in life. It makes me excited to watch 😊
You could sell it like one those Amazon Liquidation stores and do a ‘everything is $10’ sale one day, the next day drop it down to $8, the next day $5 - until it’s all gone man!
I say take it to the Hospitals-specially on the cancer ward KIDS would love to have a T-shirt that says small more. I'm here in Kentucky, My granddaughter was 12 When she found out she's got cancer she 13 now. My wife and I had took a lot of things to the hospital for the kids like stuffed animals and more, Everything has to be new, the nurses will make sure all kids get these things even a cup with smile-more just a thought ===LOVE YOUR VIDEO'S PS I'm 63
Your old merch reminds me of the good ole days, Esp. the thermals. The rock music swag was my jam back in the day. Put them up and people will buy...for sure. Love you roman and the Atwood Fam.
It would be awesome to donate to homeless shelters and or people in need. It wouldn’t only put fresh clothes on their backs but also get the message out to the world to smile more.
This would make my dream come true! Ive been watching and subbed since 2013! Now I've grown up and have 3 daughters of my own. Ive grown from a middle schooler to a grown adult with children. You're the only person that lifts me daily and actually hits my heart strings. Much love and respect Roman! From my family to yours
Damn man, just now catching up but I feel for you! I couldn’t imagine losing my mother & much less seeing her at the graveyard on Mother’s Day , all props to you brother, never give up your passion 💪🏾🖤
My son and his girlfriend both have autism and she has lupus. They are giant fans forever since the beginning. They are on a fixed income in the early 20's so its very sad. They would cry if they had a couple chairs. We feed the homeless so all we do is give. Maybe you can see what we do. God Bless your family!
@@panda4757 Wish I could say you were right but she is very sick all the time from hers. But first you ask "What is Lupus?" Then you are the expert. Maybe do some research its available online.
NEEEEED ONE OF THOSE CHAIRS And a sticker!!! Love ya Roman still haven’t met you but can’t wait to! been watching you forever and was the first to sign the cop car✊🏼💙💛
I don’t know exactly how long it’s been, but it has to be somewhere around a decade I’ve been watching. (20 y/o now). I remember when I was in 6th grade, I bought one of the signed tie dye hoodies, and wore it to school. I was picked on and harassed all day long for supporting my favorite youtuber. I wore that hoodie all day and didn’t stop smiling 😊 I didn’t care what anyone said. You have always been an inspiration to me. It’s crazy how fast time flies by. Thanks for always keeping a smile on peoples’ faces Roman ❤
roman i love you and this is far from a failure this happened because you can go to the warehouse and look back at all of the achievements and unique items that have brought you this far and will keep you going to spark the next new idea you decide to embark on!!
I got to say this is the best Roman I’ve seen I was 14/15 when I started watching I’m now 24 so this is very helpful advice for getting into the business world.
Probably never see this but if you do i want you to know i took a lot from yesterdays video on Mother’s Day. Been watching since before your mom passed and remember feeling terrible for your family but showing that headstone yesterday made me cry.. my mom has cancer as of last fall, she may not be here next year for HER day and can’t even fathom that but it’s reality.. “everyone is gonna have a really bad day” that’s gonna stick with me a very long time but well dude. You are truly an inspiration. Keeps me smiling
Dude you should maybe reach out to schools and see if they'd take any of. Good way of spreading your great message to the youth. Also would make a profit of sort id imagine. I've been watching your videos forever now and I love watching these everyday. It's something I really look forward to every day. Keep it up man ❤
Roman, I remember when I was back in 5th grade I’d ask my mom for you merch for Christmas but we never could afford it… now I’m into my last year of high school and seeing this remixes me of my childhood. Thank you Roman for always bringing joy my entire life😁 Smile More Baby😁
DONATE… shelters, charities, natural disasters… love what you do and not trying to suggest you don’t already give way more than your share, but I’m sure we can all admit, there are too many in need of a clean t-shirt or onesie across our country! May God Bless you and yours!
This is the most Mr. beast type video but from a business perspective, I absolutely love the content. I enjoyed the content in High school like 2015-16 and I do more than ever. It’s like an awssome dad figure online. Thank you!
My failure: I started a clothing company and was selling pretty cheap clothing. I’m a big guy so I wanted to make clothes that had plus sizes available constantly because people who are plus size deserve access to clothes that are always available as well. My mistake was not taking shipping into the price. At first everything was fine because shipping was free for the longest due to so many hoodies being ordered. But when orders slowed down that’s when I started getting pushed over by the shipping and I ended up paying for the shipping with the profit I made previously. That kind of brought everything to a stop. I want to restart it though I’m just waiting till I have money to restart it back up and to learn from my mistakes.
I wish you all the best in restarting your company! I love that your purpose is to help others! One of my future goals is to own a clothing business to inspire others. Good luck!
Been watching for years. Very cool to see the old merchandise. Postage is always so £££ for the UK:( so I never managed to get any, but always so cool seeing the different releases that happened. Like the fidget spinners, xmas decorations, different t-shirts etc.
Mystery boxes 100% being in Scotland I've always nearly bought merch but so expensive to get shipped but honestly wish I bought some of the old stuff so please do like mystery boxes and put a bunch of stuff in it
Those chairs, I would take one! I would pay for one even for up to like even $125+ since I have been watching you since the start. You have all grown up a lot. Thank you for making my childhood.
Hey Roman - would recommend a Smile More declining inventory setup. Would need to figure out how much of what item you have, build out the site that tracks how many you have left, and market based nostalgic items that won't come back again. I personally would be interested in buying some of the older items you showed, that aren't as easy to find anymore. Especially if it was at a discount.
Can do with a Smile More gaming chair, only problem i am on the other side of the pond. Love your content, giving so much inspiration. Want to thank you for helping my mental health and could relate to yesterdays video. Also lost my mom about 6 years ago and it does not get easier. Keep on inspiring. Lots of love all the way from South Africa.
I think it would be cool if you did a smile more tour and give these away to those in need. The message on these items could inspire the ones in those situations.
The thermals literally get me through winter xD I have two and they are the bestttt. Hats, sweatshirts, shirts, still rockin all of it for yearssss. Only one I dont have anymore is a super warm zip up I loved but gave away to someone in winter out on the street and I sure hope it helped that guy stay warm bc I still kinda miss it lmao.
Love you Roman! Since this video is about business, I want to provide some feedback. As a long time fan and also customer of Smile More, I do need to say (maybe I'm an outlier here...) ever since the move to Bunker was made, quality dropped. Shirts just don't last as long and one thing that bugged me a while back was there were two different shirt material types for a shirt. I think it was the 'Lost' tee. 100% cotton or some mix. So either your shirt shrinks a lot, or not as much. Definitely dictates the size someone might buy... I had to gamble and unfortunately got a 100% cotton so it shrunk and I donated it. Much love but I do hope there's an improvement in quality soon!
donations to a place like st jude, local shelters, schools, etc etc. would be a good way to move the inventory and give back. Like you said yourself, the merchandise was paid for years ago. Sure maybe do some local pop ups or mystery bundle sales to make a little profit as well, but definitely consider donating to less fortunate families (not like you guys havent in the past). The current economy is hard for alot of people, plus something like that could get you tapped into the newer generations audience. Tons of opportunities and ideas. Donating, Selling, Mystery, Pop up's. etc etc. Good luck and cant wait to see what you do!
@@Jrmint568Roman has publicly said he made $20 million on smile more store sales alone. With his RUclips income and businesses it can’t be far off $100 million
i would love to see some items to be donated to local charities or homeless shelters. "smile more" is exactly what these people would love to hear every day! the book bags, pens, pencils, folders etc to any schools in need of supplies!
i need a smile more gaming chair ONG, but on a real note man roman this channel is great been a viewer for yearssssssssssssssssssssss like middle school im 21 with a full time job working in a production plant. but mannn waking up opening youtube seeing a vlog from the man roman its really great and i love the positivity and him trying to push people its really great for the og viewers. Keep it up Roman much love 👌
I would buy a chair, mines giving out and if im gonna buy a gaming chair I would rather be supporting you in the process. Ive watched you for many years until you disappeared off my feed. Just found you again yesterday and Im super excited!
Probably never see this, but i so badly need a gaming chair! And a smile more gaming chair? Come on. Would be a dream come true! I would love an opportunity to get one Roman! Been here since you started your channel, was packing your shirts in the extra building and made the lake at the old house. Happy for your growth!
I need y’all to do something in north ga! I’ve never been able to go to a smile more event or anything y’all are at, but I would love some of the old merch! All the stuff I bought was lost when we moved a couple years ago 😢
Turn that apartment above your car wash into a small gift shop for when people come to your car wash. Have it open for like 4 hours around a busy time for a few days a week... smile more ❤
dam I'd love to have one of them chairs running a business detailing cars then 2 side hustles in rebuilding crashed cars to flip and the other is 3D printing. been watching you from my mid-teens to my late 20's I love you guys the whole family. thank you and Smile more!
A lot of the school stuff and youth clothes could be donated to a low income school or a back to school event. 1. It would be helping out the kids that go back to school without school supplies and new clothes. 2. It could introduce some of those kids to your videos for the first time. You could have a positive impact on their lives with your messages, especially since many of those kids don't have positive adults in their life to look up to. It could literally change the trajectory of their lives.
Omg I've been wanting the ugly Christmas sweater since u 1st brought it out, but forgot about it since I couldn't afford anything then. The thermal & onezies 🥰 Dude, so many memories looking at all that merch!!
Do the giveaways for the races with the booth that would be a great idea and maybe put some on the site as well in my opinion. I need MORE merch added to my collection😁 KEEP ON DOING what you’re doing! THE DAILY VLOGS are a blast from the past❗️ #SmileMore😃‼️
Roman! My wife works from home and has the worst office chair right now. And I am a nursing student. We live in a one bedroom apartment while we are trying to purchase our first home and just grinding it out together! I would personally pay you for one of those chairs to make her smile. Please reach out if you would agree to sell me one! Appreciate all the smiles you’ve given us the past 10 years man!
Thank you for ever thing you have did for all of us and I know how it fills when you see a lost one but like you all ways tell us just smile more they are looking at you smile back
You could donate some of the stuff to local schools for fundraisers or sporting events. Like the folders and the pens, most schools have school stores where kids earn points to be able to redeem for stuff. The baby onesies you could donate to local hospitals for the NICU.
I've always wanted a tie dye hoody but can't afford the currency difference and postage being from Australia and unemployed😥 I am very thankful for your videos to keep me positive in life. Thank you Romen and Britney ❤😊
I’m gonna be honest I miss the old items… I would definitely buy some if you put it for sale!!! I haven’t made an order in a while since I don’t favorite the new things you’re selling!
I would love a gaming chair since I'm getting into streaming. Or at least a gaming starter kit if you know what I mean. I've been watching all ur videos basically since u started. It's been a very long journey. I'm trying to motivate myself like you always say. You ate one of a kind Roman. Appreciate you.
Backpack buys. Load the backpack down with random merch. Make them size optional. Sell 4 to 8 items in the the backpack depending on price. For every purchase in each month you get entered for a gaming chair. If you don't want to buy the clothes pack then set up an item bundle with the water bottles and school folders and all the knickknack things. Done this before with alot of over stock things and with your following you could move that inventory in a few months once its sorted out. Best of luck and keep up the good work!
definitely recycle the phone cases if anything.. or you could cut them up and make new things with them to sell at events! my first thought was to use pieces of the cases and string them together to make a kind of wind chime thing!
Do a pop up shop/yard sale at the car wash for a day. Take to events and sell alongside Bunker branding. Do some giveaways here on your channel for the gaming chairs if you want to just give them away. You can give away or sell the old phone cases as targets for target practice. :) Or maybe there would be a way to upcycle them in some way. But yes, just get the product out to the people and they will help you take care of the pallets of extras. I'm sure of it.
I have a smilie more tye dye sweatshirt and when I wear it out sooo many people tell me how rad it is or how much they like it!! I’ve had it for over 8 years now and it’s as cozy and beautiful as it was when I bought it!!
Setup a temporary website, list all stock at heavily discounted prices until its sold. Keep some for future events and giveaways. The gaming chairs sound awesome!
You should do Smile More mystery boxes!! Put like $200 worth of product in a box and sell it for $75. They'd sell like hot cakes and it would be a cool way to get an assortment of stuff!
That is a great idea!!
Great idea!
Maybe multiple price size. 25 50 75 100
That's perfect! It sells so great when makeup companies do this
I agree
This new channel is genius. Marketing himself to the same audience that are adults now.

I’d come from Columbus and spend 500$ just to get some OG smile more merch . It was such a blessing in my childhood to watch your family grow roman. BTW I used to get my hair cut from your barber .
IDEA: For the back to school items. You should create bundles and give them out to the one who needs them when back to school starts: backpacks, hoodie, school supplies, lanyard, and anything they can use for school.
This! Also donate them to a charity and at least get the tax write off.
I agree, the school stuff would be great to give to schools for kids as a surprise first day of school.
🙏👍👍
This is a great suggestion to give back in your community.
this is my idea!! include a couple clothing items, water bottle, lanyard, folders- just fill book bags and either sell them in cheap bundles or donate them!
I would create a secret drop website where you receive a code during every vlog at a random time that either gives away a cheap item or a reduced price for something more expensive. It creates retention on the vlogs, allowing for potentially higher monetized videos, plus it clears the inventory. It also allows people who want to be part of the Smile More community to get involved if they can't afford the usual pricing and/or are unable to get to the events where free merch is available. Loving the motivational vlogs as always!
Edit: Also, depending on your main store's profit margin, you could add a 10% off voucher in the package for the main store. That might create some additional revenue for your main store that wouldn't have happened previously, effectively using the old stock as a loss leader.
Edit 2: Additional idea, you could add an element; for example, every $50 spent could be 1 ticket into a raffle for an all-expenses-paid adventure with yourself. It could also be a collaborative thing with other RUclipsrs who also have merch that they need to sell off, and then you all meet up at the same time to have this adventure. Even if the whole thing cost you $10,000, that's only 2% of your $500,000 worth of stock if it all sells.
I love this idea, this actually great idea!
Yes, twenty one pilots did this for LOC! It was so fun and engaging!

Absolutely great idea and would be perfect
I'll buy that for a dollar

Roman, you said your audience used to be silly kid comments. But now it’s different, you’re missing out on a completely untouched market.

Today is day 2 of my weight loss journey, your videos inspired me to get back on track. Starting weight was 384.2 yesterday. Today I am down to 382.2, 2 pounds down more to come.
One day at a time. You got this!! I’m cheering you on! You’re beautiful you’re one of a kind and smile more like Roman always says. It helps to tell yourself that daily.
Remember never look at the scale everyday. That will change, look at it weekly
Take it day by day my friend! As someone who used to be 300+ it is absolutely possible. Keep dedicated and make sure you’re still enjoying your day to day life. 70% of it is eating right the other 30% is working out. What really helped me was the 21 day fix. Check it out if you don’t already have a plan! Smile more brotha!
Before I tell you my story on my weight loss. I will try to the short story of this. I'm 65, I had congested heart failure how about 8 years ago, I was probably in the 300 lb range. I was trying to get back to work, my boss had congested heart failure and passed away. Which I believe made me shut down. But eventually started working on walking more. Then one day my right leg was like it went to sleep. I had what you call foot drop (I cannot lift my foot up). Then a big knot came up on the inside of my thigh, about the size of a cantaloupe. Then I had flesh eating virus, it was in the muscle that would lift your foot up. This really shut me down big time. I ballooned up to 526. And this is what I started doing to lose weight, first off I do not tell anybody I'm on a diet. Secondly I am not on a diet plan. I eat what I want, just list of it! I do not get on the scale every day, I maybe weekly or even monthly. And I do not get upset if it's only 1 lb, I have been able to lose weight through my life, but I would gain it back plus! So my main target is not to gain. Like I said I started at 526, today I'm 300 lb. I lost 163 of that on my own, but now I'm taking a shot. The shot does work, and I know people that takes a pill to lose weight too! I do feel more pride in what I've lost by myself, butt at 65. I figured I could use the help! The part about not telling anybody you're on a diet. People can be crude as hell. Nobody's going to stick to a diet 100%! They just cutting back on what you eat, you will start one less and less! But let me tell you there will be days that you will fall off the wagon! Just get back on that damn thing, ride through the good days in the bad days! I still got a long ways to go myself! Now go make your story make it happen! Good luck!
Sorry this was so long!
That’s so awesome dude. Keep up the hard work. It may suck now, but it will be so worth it
I’m beyond thankful for you and your family Roman, watching you growing up, now about to start a family on my own, you going thru the merch was suuch a throwback, thank you truly, OHIO❤️
Brother I just love the fact that your doing this again I miss daily videos to cut it short you lowkey saved my life when you did daily videos back then when I was at my lowest and giving up you Roman Atwood family is the only reason why I am here today thank you 🙏 for doing this again even with only 10 minute post is something I love and needed now that we are adults it doesnt get easier it just gets better and TOO ME your the reason why i am still here and fighting through the hard time and I’d like to say thank you brother. 💪 words from Roman that I have tattooed on me “ DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO SO YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO” Thank you 🙏
1. Donate a bunch of inventory to a bunch of places. 2. Ship a lot to Bunker, put them on the website for dirt cheap. 3. Pop up shops. 4. Events. 5. Franchise Bunker stores. 6. Mystery boxes. 7. Create a store at your Car Wash.
Looking forward to seeing what your new business is on Wednesday!
The cost to ship it to texas might not be worth it.
@@redux467many many u-hauls or something lol
That Car Wash store i was thinking of that too. (But you have to always there be to handle.)
I still remember many years ago when buying some fidget spinners, and my wife reached out to buy some in bulk for her to give to the kids she was doing in school therapy to help them work through the hard times. You just donated them and it made so many kids happy and a big smile on their face when they got it. Thank you again for that!
You should donate the school stuff to the public boards near you!! It would greatly help teachers and students who are severely underfunded
You’ve already done such a great impact to your community. I suggest growing it some more by providing to the homeless in the streets! 😊I also saw someone comment about back to school supplies 📚
Dang that’s heart breaking, that merch is my childhood. I’ve always wished the old stuff was still for sale
The smile more school supplies it would be nice to see you donate them to different schools in the area
Why don't you donate?
@@atl404pdx because maybe she doesn't have $500,000 in product just sitting in a warehouse..
@@atl404pdx I donate to my local charities SMILE MORE 😁
@@atl404pdxwho says he doesn’t? You’re no one to assume.
@@edgarh252I mean they literally are doing the same thing to Roman... He donates more than anybody watching him as it is
A failure I have had recently is being too good of friends to people who don’t reciprocate it back and take my friendship and kindness for granted. Haven’t said that out loud but felt good to type that out, damn. Love your vids man and love the new channel. Keep posting 🔥🙌🏻
Long time fan! I wanted a chair and waited for the initial release and never had the chance… I love to see you again!!!! And getting to share you and your family with my 2 daughters. I would hope to have the chance again to get a smile more chair
I never enjoy others say they feel like they failed but it’s also comforting to know I’m not the only one. Thanks for sharing Roman!
This just shows his success. There is no failure here.
Start back posting ‼️‼️
Just discovered your channel because of all your police body cam videos😂😂😂
You didn't fail period.
Do the work, you can give the communities across America at hospitals and provide a positive message. People might be down at that time in their lives, but you have always had the gift to make people smile more.
Thank you
Although I love the casual vlog, I really appreciate these videos where you set out to teach us what you've learned to try and help us do better in life. It makes me excited to watch 😊
The “More Machine”. A Smile More vending machine at the car wash. Lol.
This is so nostalgic, it's like the grown up vlog version of what I watched 10 years ago
Yeah life goes so fast
You could sell it like one those Amazon Liquidation stores and do a ‘everything is $10’ sale one day, the next day drop it down to $8, the next day $5 - until it’s all gone man!
I say take it to the Hospitals-specially on the cancer ward KIDS would love to have a T-shirt that says small more. I'm here in Kentucky, My granddaughter was 12 When she found out she's got cancer she 13 now. My wife and I had took a lot of things to the hospital for the kids like stuffed animals and more, Everything has to be new, the nurses will make sure all kids get these things even a cup with smile-more just a thought ===LOVE YOUR VIDEO'S PS I'm 63
Your old merch reminds me of the good ole days, Esp. the thermals. The rock music swag was my jam back in the day. Put them up and people will buy...for sure. Love you roman and the Atwood Fam.
It would be awesome to donate to homeless shelters and or people in need. It wouldn’t only put fresh clothes on their backs but also get the message out to the world to smile more.
This would make my dream come true! Ive been watching and subbed since 2013! Now I've grown up and have 3 daughters of my own. Ive grown from a middle schooler to a grown adult with children. You're the only person that lifts me daily and actually hits my heart strings. Much love and respect Roman! From my family to yours
Damn man, just now catching up but I feel for you! I couldn’t imagine losing my mother & much less seeing her at the graveyard on Mother’s Day , all props to you brother, never give up your passion 💪🏾🖤
Aww wish I could afford some - especially a gaming chair!! You enspire us here in South Africa, thanks Roman!! You are no failure
My son and his girlfriend both have autism and she has lupus. They are giant fans forever since the beginning. They are on a fixed income in the early 20's so its very sad. They would cry if they had a couple chairs. We feed the homeless so all we do is give. Maybe you can see what we do. God Bless your family!
What is Lupus?
@@panda4757 Lupus is a chronic (long-lasting) type of autoimmune disease.
@@petepromise That won’t hold her back in life, everyone is capable of accomplishing great things no matter their circumstances or condition 🆓🇺🇸
@@panda4757 Wish I could say you were right but she is very sick all the time from hers. But first you ask "What is Lupus?" Then you are the expert. Maybe do some research its available online.
NEEEEED ONE OF THOSE CHAIRS And a sticker!!! Love ya Roman still haven’t met you but can’t wait to! been watching you forever and was the first to sign the cop car✊🏼💙💛
I don’t know exactly how long it’s been, but it has to be somewhere around a decade I’ve been watching. (20 y/o now). I remember when I was in 6th grade, I bought one of the signed tie dye hoodies, and wore it to school. I was picked on and harassed all day long for supporting my favorite youtuber. I wore that hoodie all day and didn’t stop smiling 😊 I didn’t care what anyone said. You have always been an inspiration to me. It’s crazy how fast time flies by. Thanks for always keeping a smile on peoples’ faces Roman ❤
roman i love you and this is far from a failure this happened because you can go to the warehouse and look back at all of the achievements and unique items that have brought you this far and will keep you going to spark the next new idea you decide to embark on!!
Sell them at a brand store at the carwash. Permanent store front and pop up at your events.
I’m still overwhelmed with yesterday’s vlog! Take for sharing that with us Roman
I got to say this is the best Roman I’ve seen I was 14/15 when I started watching I’m now 24 so this is very helpful advice for getting into the business world.
Probably never see this but if you do i want you to know i took a lot from yesterdays video on Mother’s Day. Been watching since before your mom passed and remember feeling terrible for your family but showing that headstone yesterday made me cry.. my mom has cancer as of last fall, she may not be here next year for HER day and can’t even fathom that but it’s reality.. “everyone is gonna have a really bad day” that’s gonna stick with me a very long time but well dude. You are truly an inspiration. Keeps me smiling
Dude you should maybe reach out to schools and see if they'd take any of. Good way of spreading your great message to the youth. Also would make a profit of sort id imagine. I've been watching your videos forever now and I love watching these everyday. It's something I really look forward to every day. Keep it up man ❤
Roman, I remember when I was back in 5th grade I’d ask my mom for you merch for Christmas but we never could afford it… now I’m into my last year of high school and seeing this remixes me of my childhood. Thank you Roman for always bringing joy my entire life😁 Smile More Baby😁
DONATE… shelters, charities, natural disasters… love what you do and not trying to suggest you don’t already give way more than your share, but I’m sure we can all admit, there are too many in need of a clean t-shirt or onesie across our country! May God Bless you and yours!
This is the most Mr. beast type video but from a business perspective, I absolutely love the content. I enjoyed the content in High school like 2015-16 and I do more than ever. It’s like an awssome dad figure online. Thank you!
My failure: I started a clothing company and was selling pretty cheap clothing. I’m a big guy so I wanted to make clothes that had plus sizes available constantly because people who are plus size deserve access to clothes that are always available as well. My mistake was not taking shipping into the price. At first everything was fine because shipping was free for the longest due to so many hoodies being ordered. But when orders slowed down that’s when I started getting pushed over by the shipping and I ended up paying for the shipping with the profit I made previously. That kind of brought everything to a stop. I want to restart it though I’m just waiting till I have money to restart it back up and to learn from my mistakes.
I wish you all the best in restarting your company! I love that your purpose is to help others! One of my future goals is to own a clothing business to inspire others.
Good luck!
Love watching y’all look like you’re having a blast. Good times!
Been watching for years. Very cool to see the old merchandise. Postage is always so £££ for the UK:( so I never managed to get any, but always so cool seeing the different releases that happened. Like the fidget spinners, xmas decorations, different t-shirts etc.
Mystery boxes 100% being in Scotland I've always nearly bought merch but so expensive to get shipped but honestly wish I bought some of the old stuff so please do like mystery boxes and put a bunch of stuff in it
You could sell different size mystery boxes and if it involves clothing have them pick the size they want.
Those chairs, I would take one! I would pay for one even for up to like even $125+ since I have been watching you since the start. You have all grown up a lot. Thank you for making my childhood.
Hey Roman - would recommend a Smile More declining inventory setup. Would need to figure out how much of what item you have, build out the site that tracks how many you have left, and market based nostalgic items that won't come back again. I personally would be interested in buying some of the older items you showed, that aren't as easy to find anymore. Especially if it was at a discount.
Can do with a Smile More gaming chair, only problem i am on the other side of the pond. Love your content, giving so much inspiration. Want to thank you for helping my mental health and could relate to yesterdays video. Also lost my mom about 6 years ago and it does not get easier. Keep on inspiring. Lots of love all the way from South Africa.
Hey Roman you should open a store up and sell yours merch and name yours store Smile More too that would be a good idea to do.
I would looooove one of the chairs! Especially since I'm using a high chair from my Kitchen lol. Love this new channel, please keep them coming!!!
I think it would be cool if you did a smile more tour and give these away to those in need. The message on these items could inspire the ones in those situations.
Hey Roman been watching since I'm 10 years old and I'm now 19 love to see u back to daily vlogs cus there was a legend missing off RUclips for a while
The "don't tell britt." Was so real 😂
The thermals literally get me through winter xD I have two and they are the bestttt. Hats, sweatshirts, shirts, still rockin all of it for yearssss. Only one I dont have anymore is a super warm zip up I loved but gave away to someone in winter out on the street and I sure hope it helped that guy stay warm bc I still kinda miss it lmao.
Love you Roman! Since this video is about business, I want to provide some feedback. As a long time fan and also customer of Smile More, I do need to say (maybe I'm an outlier here...) ever since the move to Bunker was made, quality dropped. Shirts just don't last as long and one thing that bugged me a while back was there were two different shirt material types for a shirt. I think it was the 'Lost' tee. 100% cotton or some mix. So either your shirt shrinks a lot, or not as much. Definitely dictates the size someone might buy... I had to gamble and unfortunately got a 100% cotton so it shrunk and I donated it. Much love but I do hope there's an improvement in quality soon!
Good to see ya back, Roman! 🎉
Roman, just set up eBay account so everybody can have a chance to buy an OG DVD or SM chair.
Yes. I'm a new follower (cleetus fan. But that's how I got introduced) BUT I WANT ONE OF THOES SWEATERS
@@tonyscottandre He has one. I remember he listed a ring he made out of a spoon a couple years ago and it went for like $50,000.
NO JOKE. I’d die for a smile more gaming chair! If you did a smile more mystery box. I’d so buy it! I’m so happy your daily vloging!
donations to a place like st jude, local shelters, schools, etc etc. would be a good way to move the inventory and give back. Like you said yourself, the merchandise was paid for years ago. Sure maybe do some local pop ups or mystery bundle sales to make a little profit as well, but definitely consider donating to less fortunate families (not like you guys havent in the past). The current economy is hard for alot of people, plus something like that could get you tapped into the newer generations audience. Tons of opportunities and ideas. Donating, Selling, Mystery, Pop up's. etc etc. Good luck and cant wait to see what you do!
2 weeks of vlogs, let's keep it going!
Roman saying he’s lost over half a million is like me saying I’ve lost 5,000. The guy has made over 100 million easy.
Over a 100 mill hell nah.. maybe 30 mill
Right, most of us wish we had $500k to even lose. 😂
Everything is relative. I’m sure you’d still be upset at losing the 5k. It’s just easier to say they won’t miss it as much
@@Jrmint568Roman has publicly said he made $20 million on smile more store sales alone. With his RUclips income and businesses it can’t be far off $100 million
It’s so dumb when people say this 500k is 500k…
i would love to see some items to be donated to local charities or homeless shelters. "smile more" is exactly what these people would love to hear every day! the book bags, pens, pencils, folders etc to any schools in need of supplies!
i need a smile more gaming chair ONG, but on a real note man roman this channel is great been a viewer for yearssssssssssssssssssssss like middle school im 21 with a full time job working in a production plant. but mannn waking up opening youtube seeing a vlog from the man roman its really great and i love the positivity and him trying to push people its really great for the og viewers. Keep it up Roman much love 👌
I would buy a chair, mines giving out and if im gonna buy a gaming chair I would rather be supporting you in the process. Ive watched you for many years until you disappeared off my feed. Just found you again yesterday and Im super excited!
It’s crazy I am 19 crazy how far u came used to be a kid lol hope u see this message and understand how many kids hearts u hit
Probably never see this, but i so badly need a gaming chair! And a smile more gaming chair? Come on. Would be a dream come true! I would love an opportunity to get one Roman! Been here since you started your channel, was packing your shirts in the extra building and made the lake at the old house. Happy for your growth!
Those gaming chairs!! I’ve been eyeing on since you first mentioned them! I still want it in my life..!
I need y’all to do something in north ga! I’ve never been able to go to a smile more event or anything y’all are at, but I would love some of the old merch! All the stuff I bought was lost when we moved a couple years ago 😢
I still use my Bright Bugs. Love them!
Thanks for all You and Brit do.
Turn that apartment above your car wash into a small gift shop for when people come to your car wash. Have it open for like 4 hours around a busy time for a few days a week... smile more ❤
You can donate a lot of backpacks and supplies to schools with a shirts and onesies to hospitals and cancer patients
dam I'd love to have one of them chairs running a business detailing cars then 2 side hustles in rebuilding crashed cars to flip and the other is 3D printing. been watching you from my mid-teens to my late 20's I love you guys the whole family. thank you and Smile more!
A lot of the school stuff and youth clothes could be donated to a low income school or a back to school event. 1. It would be helping out the kids that go back to school without school supplies and new clothes. 2. It could introduce some of those kids to your videos for the first time. You could have a positive impact on their lives with your messages, especially since many of those kids don't have positive adults in their life to look up to. It could literally change the trajectory of their lives.
Omg I've been wanting the ugly Christmas sweater since u 1st brought it out, but forgot about it since I couldn't afford anything then. The thermal & onezies 🥰 Dude, so many memories looking at all that merch!!
Also the chairs. Place one only of them in each site until it sells. So u don’t need to worry about shipping they are available for pick up only
Do the giveaways for the races with the booth that would be a great idea and maybe put some on the site as well in my opinion. I need MORE merch added to my collection😁 KEEP ON DOING what you’re doing! THE DAILY VLOGS are a blast from the past❗️ #SmileMore😃‼️
Mane i been here since the beginning i remember i spent a bag on merch now i see you got thousands you e came a long way and i’m proud
Roman! My wife works from home and has the worst office chair right now. And I am a nursing student. We live in a one bedroom apartment while we are trying to purchase our first home and just grinding it out together! I would personally pay you for one of those chairs to make her smile. Please reach out if you would agree to sell me one! Appreciate all the smiles you’ve given us the past 10 years man!
Thank you for ever thing you have did for all of us and I know how it fills when you see a lost one but like you all ways tell us just smile more they are looking at you smile back
You could donate some of the stuff to local schools for fundraisers or sporting events. Like the folders and the pens, most schools have school stores where kids earn points to be able to redeem for stuff. The baby onesies you could donate to local hospitals for the NICU.
I need a black hat! It was one of my favourite things you sold. Bought many solid black hats for years
Roman, I started watching you 11 years ago, and you pulling out the onesies and going to be a father in 2 months, I’d love to grab one
I've always wanted a tie dye hoody but can't afford the currency difference and postage being from Australia and unemployed😥
I am very thankful for your videos to keep me positive in life.
Thank you Romen and Britney ❤😊
I’m gonna be honest I miss the old items… I would definitely buy some if you put it for sale!!! I haven’t made an order in a while since I don’t favorite the new things you’re selling!
I would love a gaming chair since I'm getting into streaming. Or at least a gaming starter kit if you know what I mean. I've been watching all ur videos basically since u started. It's been a very long journey. I'm trying to motivate myself like you always say. You ate one of a kind Roman. Appreciate you.
Backpack buys. Load the backpack down with random merch. Make them size optional. Sell 4 to 8 items in the the backpack depending on price. For every purchase in each month you get entered for a gaming chair. If you don't want to buy the clothes pack then set up an item bundle with the water bottles and school folders and all the knickknack things. Done this before with alot of over stock things and with your following you could move that inventory in a few months once its sorted out. Best of luck and keep up the good work!
definitely recycle the phone cases if anything.. or you could cut them up and make new things with them to sell at events! my first thought was to use pieces of the cases and string them together to make a kind of wind chime thing!
Do a pop up shop/yard sale at the car wash for a day. Take to events and sell alongside Bunker branding. Do some giveaways here on your channel for the gaming chairs if you want to just give them away. You can give away or sell the old phone cases as targets for target practice. :) Or maybe there would be a way to upcycle them in some way. But yes, just get the product out to the people and they will help you take care of the pallets of extras. I'm sure of it.
I have a smilie more tye dye sweatshirt and when I wear it out sooo many people tell me how rad it is or how much they like it!! I’ve had it for over 8 years now and it’s as cozy and beautiful as it was when I bought it!!
I love seeing the business side of Roman’s side hustles, very inspiring!
i’ve been watching you from the very beginning of the og channel i love y’all and y’all have changed my life i grew up watching the pranks
Setup a temporary website, list all stock at heavily discounted prices until its sold. Keep some for future events and giveaways. The gaming chairs sound awesome!
