Email Domain refers to the part of an email address after the '@' symbol, such as 'company.com'. In foreign trade, it is directly linked to a company's official website domain and serves as an important basis for customers to assess a company's legitimacy and professionalism. Usage scenarios include: sending development letters, replying to customer inquiries, exchanging quotations and contracts, etc. Notes: 1) It is recommended to use a corporate email ending with your own company domain (e.g., sales@yourcompany.com) and avoid free email services (e.g., gmail.com, hotmail.com), otherwise customers may view you as unprofessional or as a phishing email; 2) The domain should be as short and memorable as possible and consistent with your company brand; 3) Configure DNS records such as SPF and DKIM to prevent emails from being marked as spam; 4) Unlike an 'email address', an email domain emphasizes organizational identity rather than a specific recipient. In foreign trade, a stable and trustworthy email domain can significantly enhance customer trust and response rates.
📝 Examples
1. Please use our company's official email domain (@abc-trading.com) to send the quotation, not a personal email, to avoid customers doubting its authenticity. (Note: Emphasizes the impact of corporate email domains on customer trust)
2. A customer reported that our email domain was blacklisted, causing all development letters to go to spam, so we need to contact the IT department to check the SPF records. (Note: Email domain reputation issues hindering foreign trade communication)
