Quality Attributes That Matters When Purchasing Milk by Slovak Consumers

Food market has changed dramatically over past decades. Whereas in the past consumers faced problems with food availability and quantity, today they are more concerned with its qualitative side. Milk, Slovak traditional foodstuff, is now experiencing the declining consumer interest. Regarding this, the main aim of the article is to examine the importance and influence of quality attributes on Slovak consumers when purchasing milk. For accomplishing this, a quantitative consumer survey was arranged. Its results showed that to the group of top five most important quality attributes belonged healthiness, freshness, sensory appeals, processing and fat; and a presence of at least two dependencies in relation to age, gender, income and education individually was confirmed. This creates a valuable basis for the value concept development, segmentation, targeting and positioning projection, product strategy modification and innovation and segmentation and marketing mix strategy creation.
