PEARL RIVER, N.Y., March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Quality, familiarity and purchase consideration.  These are the key factors that go into ranking companies on consumer brand equity in the Harris Poll EquiTrend® study.  Not surprisingly, Hunter Douglas was named 2013 Harris Poll EquiTrend Window Covering Brand of the Year in the highly regarded study.  Hunter Douglas scored exceptionally well in the Quality ratings among other measurements.

To provide an understanding of a brand's overall strength, the EquiTrend study surveyed 38,814 U.S. consumers who assessed the brands in over 155 categories.  Conducted by Harris Interactive, one of the world's top market research firms, the EquiTrend model was recognized as a proven predictor of stock performance during the 2008 financial downturn, and thus has been validated as a new tool to evaluate a company's performance.
