DALLAS, July 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- For the third year in a row, Overhead Door Corporation has earned the Women's Choice Award by WomenCertified^® for America's Best for Home in the garage door category. This award designation is based on a national survey of women who were asked to select the brands they would most likely recommend to others.

"Overhead Door is honored to be recognized as the brand trusted among women and proud to have received the Women's Choice Award for three consecutive years," said Dennis Stone, president and CEO of Overhead Door. "The Women's Choice Award represents our commitment to delivering superior products, reliability and service."

A 2013 Fleishman Hillard Study likened today's female consumer to a CEO of a household, citing that the female consumer controls the day-to-day purchasing of a household and partners with her spouse in larger purchasing and financial decisions. As a result, more brands like Overhead Door are focusing on delivering a customer experience centered on the female shopper's needs.

The Women's Choice Award has set the standard for assisting consumers in making informed purchases by identifying brands that are most recommended and trusted by women. Those that deliver a customer experience worthy of recommendation are selected to win a Women's Choice Award.

"We have more choices than ever before and less time to do our homework. So to help each other, women across America are sharing their most recommended brands through the Women's Choice Awards," said Delia Passi, Women's Choice Award CEO & Founder.. "Now you can choose with confidence knowing that women have tried and experienced that brand or service, and would encourage you to make that your first choice."
