Introduction: Megan Greenwood

Hello and WELCOME to Plentiful Perlers! 🌟🥰

My name is Megan Greenwood and I am a 25 year old woman residing in Tennessee. I run this business completely by myself, with the occasional extra help from family and friends. I plan to graduate from college this upcoming Spring with an AAS degree in Administrative Professional Technology With a Medical Office Concentration. Once I graduate, I am debating on attending graduate school at the University of Tennessee for degree studying communications, but I am still weighing my options and seeing where my business stands at that point. 

Born and raised in Richland, Washington, I moved to Knoxville, Tennessee in 2018 to be closer to my mothers side of the family. I opened up my doors for business on January 20th, 2020 originally on Etsy, after a life long passion for crafting with Perler beads. Creating designs has always been the perfect level of calming and challenging for me. I recently found a new passion for designing templates for my creations using an app called Perlypop available on iPhones after receiving an iPad for my 25th birthday in September. My creativity bursted and I haven’t stopped redesigning my favorite pictures into Perler form since! Having a larger screen to view designs on while creating has been such a blessing and a blast! 

Since opening shop in January on Etsy, I have grown more than I ever thought was even possible, both personally and in my business, and felt it was time to transition here, to Shopify, for my next big steps. I have fulfilled over 450 orders on Etsy, while making my products affordable and with free shipping. My largest order to date was 900 adjustable face mask clips for a publishing house in Memphis! My best sellers have been no doubt the adjustable face mask clips, but also mini fridge magnets. I take designs I find online or create myself, and recreate them using mini Perler beads instead of the regular (midi) size beads. Mini beads are much more cost effective, so they are listed for cheaper, and they are the perfect size to keep your fridge unique. 

I am currently writing this as I joyfully setup my shop and explore all that Shopify has to offer me and my business. I look forward greatly to the option of selling on Facebook and Instagram, and adore the option to transfer my data between shops without going through all the extra headache of setting up from scratch. I cannot wait to use the blogging feature more as well. What a wonderful journey this will be! ❤️

Your friend and shop owner,
