About Aldo’s

Aldo’s Ristorante Italiano is a true Northern Italian delicacy that resides in San Antonio. It began with a chef dedicated to fine dining. Aldo Ghaffari started his restaurant career in Houston with his first job being a bus boy at a local Italian restaurant. His original plan for his future, at the time, had nothing to do with the food industry. But as time went on, his passion and commitment turned to Italian fine dining. Once he left Houston, Aldo choose to share his love for Italian cuisine with the San Antonio community. For more information about Aldo’s, see below to check out their website and social media.

Storefront Sales

At Embark Marketing, we understood that bottom line, Aldo’s was looking to see an increase in sales. At the completion of our six month contract, we saw a successful trend in the amount of reservations made. It was truly amazing to see how marketing can truly change a busniess!

Using the Open Table reservation system we saw how our digital marketing strategies drove traffic to Aldo’s store front. There was a proven increase in reservations, party size and average daily customers, which in turn resulted in additional sales.

The purpose of digital marketing is to build and connect customers to your business by creating a relationship. Once the relationship between a busniess and customer is fully formed, you have a customer for life. The trick? Creating a relationship takes time. Customers like to feel that a company is trustworthy, and that their piority is on them. At Embark Marketing, we feel the best way to form this relationship is to engage frequently and let the relationship grow organically.
