The purpose of the study is to reveal the mechanism of different promotion strategies in the consumer decision-making process and to provide substantive recommendations for optimizing the promotion strategies of e-commerce platforms to enhance the user experience, promote green consumption, and promote the sustainable development of e-commerce platforms. The research results can provide theoretical support and practical guidance for e-commerce platforms and policymakers in promoting sustainable consumption.
