Palio’s Ristorante Case Analysis
The Situation Angelina Palio is the owner and manager of Palio’s Ristorante and is reviewing the slow growth of her restaurant. In reviewing her restaurant’s growth, she is thinking about the future and how she can modify her current strategy to attract more clientele into the Palio’s Ristorante. At this time, Palio’s Ristorante is not doing well and she is contemplating on whether to weather the storm or to unite with a fast-food or family restaurant franchise chain.

When looking for the location of her business, she carefully looked at various locations and took into consideration several factors, one, would her location attract individuals to dine at Palio’s Ristorante, two, was the location in a convenient area for her potential target customers, and three, would this location provide target customers with superior customer value.

The Present Marketing Strategy Angelina Palio realized that she had to step up her marketing strategy to attract the targeted customers to dine at her establishment to keep her business afloat. She looked at her past marketing strategy and determined that something else had to be done because her past marketing strategy was not working. Angelina stepped up
