Women's Choice Award

2021 is a year of incredible milestones for Overhead Door™ Brand. Not only are we celebrating our 100th-year anniversary, but we have been awarded the 2021 Women’s Choice Award® for the 10th-consecutive year! The award program by WomenCertified Inc® recognized us as ‘America’s Most Recommended Garage Door Brand.’ But don’t just take their word for it. The honor is based on customer ratings and a national survey distributed to up to 200,000 women.

Women make up half the population and account for an estimated global buying power of $31.8 trillion, according to a 2019 study by Catalyst. The influence of this powerful segment cannot be understated and for a decade, products and services that earn the Women’s Choice Award designation have been touted for their achievement as being the most recommended in their category and for which female customers would recommend to their family and friends. Because recommendation ratings are seen as the pinnacle for determining true brand loyalty and love, the Women’s Choice Award indicates a brand’s commitment to their customers and to empowering women to make the best consumer choices for themselves and their families.

Delia Passi, founder and CEO of the Women's Choice Award said, "Today's marketplace is more cluttered than ever, yet women have less time than ever to sift through the saturated online options and store shelves. And with women on a constant hunt to identify the best brands for herself and her family, the Women's Choice Award serves as a trusted endorsement and visual beacon of empowerment, simplifying her choices. When consumers see that other women recommend a brand, through the Women's Choice Award seal, it provides an unparalleled level of trust and validation, putting her mind at ease- and that's priceless."

Known for our top quality garage doors and innovative solutions, it’s clear Overhead Door™ Brand continues to resonate with women and earn the loyalty of this market powerhouse. As we celebrate our 100th-year anniversary, earning this achievement for the 10th-consecutive year shows that we are consistently hitting the mark for our customers and delivering unmatched performance and satisfaction.

America’s Most Recommended™ Brand for Garage Doors

For the seventh consecutive year, the Overhead Door™ Brand has earned the 2018 Women’s Choice Award^® by WomenCertified^® for America’s Most Recommended National Garage Door Brand.

“It is an honor for the Overhead Door™ Brand to receive the Women’s Choice Award for garage doors for the seventh year in a row. We remain committed to providing the expert garage door service and solutions that women consumers have come to trust and appreciate year after year,” said Ali Isham, Director of Marketing at Overhead Door Corporation.

The Women’s Choice Award is based on customer ratings and a national survey distributed to more than 100,000 women. The organization rates products from a wide variety of industries, including beauty and wellness, retailers and automotive, and it has set the standard for helping women make smarter consumer decisions.

Erin Batten, a customer of the company, was chosen to publicly represent the brand’s Women’s Choice Award in advertisements and publications.

“I’m delighted to have my image associated with the award,” said Batten. “I have recommended the Overhead Door™ Brand to all my family and friends because of the company’s hard work, professionalism and superior customer service.”

Overhead Door customers are more than just friendly faces, they're part of the Red Ribbon family and some of our greatest brand ambassadors. For this reason, it was a natural fit to make Erin Batten the face of our Women's Choice Award^®.

"The Overhead Door™ Brand has earned the Women's Choice Award for 'America's Most Recommended National Garage Door Brand' for six consecutive years, proving to be a company women trust and highly recommend to family and friends," said Heather Meiner, Overhead Door Brand Manager. for . "It's a privilege to make Erin Batten the face of our award because she has been an advocate for the Overhead Door™ Brand in her community and is an actual customer."

Three years ago, Erin submitted a picture of her plain, white garage door into a "Before & After Facebook Contest" hosted by Overhead Door Company of Cedar Rapids & Iowa City™. The grand prize was a beautiful, new wood-grain garage door from the Overhead Door™ Thermacore® Collection.

"The garage door is the new front door, and we wanted to give one local family a chance to make a fantastic first impression," said Martin Fauchier, the Marketing Director of Overhead Door Company of Cedar Rapids & Iowa City™.

Out of more than 200 photo entries, Overhead Door Company of Cedar Rapids & Iowa City™ narrowed it down to ten finalists, and the winner was electronically selected. That winner was Erin Batten.

The installation of her new Thermacore^® Model 199 V5 door in Walnut with Stockbridge windows and decorative hardware made Erin’s home the first on the block to break out of the “white garage door, no windows look” -- sending her home’s curb appeal through the roof.
