Abstract

The study investigated the effect of product attributes on consumers’ patronage of Milo and Ovaltine beverage food drinks in Delta State. Data were collected through a survey of 383 consumers across the three senatorial districts of Delta State, with 380 valid responses analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression at a 0.05 significance level. The findings revealed that product taste, packaging elements, price, and nutritional value have a significant positive influence on consumer patronage of Milo and Ovaltine beverages. The study concluded that product attributes are critical determinants of consumer patronage and recommended that beverage manufacturers continually align product features with evolving consumer preferences to remain competitive
