This paper explores equity crowdfunding platforms from a marketing perspective. The present exploratory study attempts to make a double contribution to the current literature on equity crowdfunding. Firstly, it analyzes the marketing strategies of the platforms by focusing on the well-known 4Ps marketing mix framework, i.e. product, price, promotion and placement. Each dimension presents three types of categories. Second, the study investigates the marketing strategies of both large platforms and small platforms, then the differences between these two types of platforms are examined in terms of campaigns’ outcomes, i.e. funding collected (in %), funding amount (in €) and number of investors. Platforms adopt a standardization strategy for pricing and placement, while a differentiation strategy is mainly adopted for promotion and products. Large platforms offer a wider range of services (in particular ongoing campaign services and post-campaign services) and promotional activities (in particular leverage many communication channels). The analyses disclose significant statistically differences between these two types of platforms. Projects posted on large platforms are more likely to get higher campaigns’ outcomes. In literature, little is known about marketing strategies in equity crowdfunding platforms, thus this study tries to fill this gap. The paper is the first to analyze the 4Ps of platforms and to conduct a comparative empirical study to determine the differences of campaigns’ outcomes between large and small platforms. The Italian context represents a significant case of developed country in theme of equity crowdfunding. The results are useful for platform managers, entrepreneurs, investors and authorities.

This article is devoted to the study of new marketing strategies used in green marketing. Green marketing includes both green products and green oriented companies. Companies that seek to enter the new "green" niche need to rethink the 4 P’s (product, price, place and promotion) of traditional marketing and use these new strategies to promote environmentally friendly products. Research into this field has yielded four main strategies of ecological marketing: "Lean green", "Defensive green", "Shaded green" and "Extreme green". Each environmental marketing strategy presented in this article is directly connected with the concept of the marketing mix it is related to. Many companies do not want to use all parts of the 4 P strategies but instead choose to use only specific elements of each. This allows companies to choose a tailored "green" marketing strategy to achieve their goals. Green marketing strategies help companies to develop products that are environmentally friendly and satisfy the requirements of consumers.
