Intersign

What Intersign does

Intersign Corporation, founded in 1980 and headquartered at 2156 Amnicola Highway in Chattanooga, Tennessee, is a privately held US manufacturer of custom interior signage. The company specializes in ADA-compliant signage produced to order for churches and religious facilities, schools and universities, government buildings, healthcare facilities, hotels, and multi-family residential properties, with products spanning room signs, bathroom signs, exit signs, safety signs, room number signs, directories, evacuation maps, and state-mandated human trafficking and rule signage. Intersign also serves niche facility segments via five wholly-owned subsidiary domains — HOTELSIGNS.com, HealthcareSigns.com, MultiHousingSigns.com, signmojo.com, and EvacuationPlans.com — that redirect into the central platform.

The product platform is built on custom manufacturing with shared technical specifications: every sign incorporates raised text, Grade 2 Braille, and raised pictograms for ADA compliance; customers can select from over 80 colors and 50+ named sign collections (e.g., Aleigha, Apex, Arctic, Florence, Metro, Manhattan, Luxe, Town Square®, Ovation©, Santera® HT). Two service layers wrap the manufacturing base: SignSpec©, a free floor-plan-based planning service that translates customer-submitted architectural drawings into a recommended compliant signage package, and a Life-of-the-Building Guarantee covering material and workmanship defects for the building's operating life. Production lead times are 10–15 business days and orders carry no minimum quantity.

The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce and inside-sales: customers configure signs online at intersign.com or call a toll-free line (1-800-322-8426). Pricing is quote-based, with example starting points around $21 for standardized items (e.g., no-smoking signs); revenue is generated through one-time transactions rather than subscriptions. Customer acquisition is driven by SEO-optimized category pages, the corporate blog, YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram, and an email newsletter. International shipping is offered without disclosed geographic restrictions. Intersign has not raised external funding, has no disclosed M&A, and has 101–250 employees operating from a single Chattanooga site.
