Green marketing, from the researchers' point of view, can be defined as the equation of achieving profits, satisfying customers, and at the same time keeping the environment safe. There is a great concern about sustainability all over the world, which pushes the researchers to study green marketing in emerging economies. This research study examines how green marketing can affect consumer's purchase decision. Four hundred printed copies of the questionnaire have been collected complete and valid for analysis. Factor analysis, reliability test, and multiple regression analysis have been done using SPSS software. It has been found that consumers can be encouraged to buy green products if they feel that these products will have a positive impact on their health. Business companies need to organize marketing campaigns which highlight the healthy gains obtained from acquiring green products to increase their sales. Eco‐labeling and point of purchase of green products are also elements that can affect consumer's purchase decision. This research study can help companies to achieve profits and at the same time keep the environment safe. This research study has the potential for presenting interesting insights into the challenge of influencing consumers in non‐Western markets. This research study displays the literature of green marketing in some emerging economies and tests it in a new context (Egypt). It can be concluded that each emerging economy has a unique nature when applying green marketing.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine how sports marketing can attract audiences towards less popular sports. Design/methodology/approach A total of 22 interviews were conducted first to explore the opinions of sports professionals about how audiences can be attracted towards less popular sports. Then 479 responses to an online questionnaire were collected. The online questionnaire includes a pretest-posttest experiment in which each respondent has watched a video. Confirmatory factor analysis, reliability test and hierarchical regression analysis have been performed. Findings The elements of sports marketing that can help to attract audiences towards less popular sports are sports media, sports advertising, star athlete and sports sponsorship. The performance of national teams moderates the relationship between sports advertising and attraction towards less popular sports. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, a definition of sustainable sports marketing is introduced for the first time. Sustainable sports marketing can be defined as the continuous implementation of marketing activities in the sports context to ensure the continuous existence of the sports themselves (all types of sports) and the prosperity of future generations. Elements that can attract audiences towards less popular sports have been examined for the first time.
