Swell. Are you here defending your Wellness/Fitness Business or promoting your App? I doubt you are here after getting a call from your local spa and then just appeared here to calm other posters.
But in any case, you are wrong about spam. Unwanted texts and e-mails are by definition, Spam. And Spam is intrusive.
If the texts are going to current clients of a fitness joint without asking a client if they are interested in receiving offers/info by text, that is also spam in my opinion. Clients should have the right to opt out.
You really show your Shilling when you wrote:

I assume that you meant "other businesses". This is Spamming. It is Intrusive. It is Presumptive for a business to do that with what I consider my personal info. If this is your company your are defending and shilling for, your company has a problem with ethics that borders on turpitude. If you are promoting your App, you are spamming on this site, so don't play with words. I won't mention the morality issue. Shills have no morals or ethics. If you are merely passing by, I suggest you learn to respect the right of privacy we have, and not espouse or legitimize Spamming and your corrupted values.
I JUST received a text from this number... 805 area code appears to be in CA, but the text reads "Welcome to Open Doors & Open Doors Yoga Studios. Save time! Get our MINDBODY app, the easiest way to view and manage your schedule: get.mndbdy.ly/s1ud/v8kQL39JNC." I have never heard from them, and have not signed up for any type of yoga! BLOCKED!
This is a legit number. Its not spam. A lot of wellness/fitness places are using an app called "MindBody" to handle scheduling etc. I scheduled an appointment somewhere & also got the text. The app is actually quite helpful to get pricing, schedule & cancel appointments without having to talk to someone. You can also see other offers & things that may interest you from other business, but not in an invasive way. It can be confusing because the business did not tell me I would be contacted this way. But again, i actually like the ease of the app.
