Brand jealousy is an increasing phenomenon in recent years works of literature and its effect on the relationship between consumer and brand.

The theoretical framework is analyzed through a quantitative approach with the help of a questionnaire using the Partial Least Square Structure Equation Model (PLS-SEM). The findings of the study depict a positive relationship between brand jealousy as well as willingness to pay more. The outcomes of this study ensure practical insights for marketing and brand managers by introducing various strategies in their integrated marketing communication to influence the framework of brand jealousy and customers’ willingness to pay more for various brands.
