Organizations strategically use many tools to maintain a positive WOM and its image, that is, corporate image (CI) and brand image (BI) lead the confrontation. This article reveals that people are very rational while buying durables. The customer evaluates the CI and BI differently to buy high-priced and low-priced electronic products, which is a price-sensitive industry. The finding indicates that CI and BI have a significant impact on CL and WOM in the case of both high-priced and low-priced products, with a strong distinction in their intensity.
