I'm sure it's much more than 5000 donuts a year they sell. When I was pitching my product in Lowe's by TV, I learned they had sold 20,000 the year before in that one store location. The few months I was there, I outsold the sprinkler donuts. Many times over, every day I was there.
It's not contractors buying them and certainly not just new home owners. Many folks re-buy and place on top of a sprinkler donut that has disappeared into the ground. Due to lack of maintenance!
I'm a yard man and I know your yard man loves that you maintain your sprinkler donuts. Watch the next time he visits, I would expect that he straddles your sprinklers because he can see them. If he were running them over every visit, you would be needing to raise them back up much more often than you are, if he's running heavy commercial ZTR'S.
Sprinkler donuts sink under their own weight over time, it's not only running them over that causes them to sink.
Properly maintained donuts do work great. Sprinkler Buddy is for those that don't want to do as much maintenance long term as you do with your sprinkler donuts.

20,000 Donuts a year, comes out to 561 donuts a day. So if you outsold Loews for the few months you were there (lets say 2 months) that would be about 560 a day @ 30 days a month. 2 months = 33,600. BUT "Many Times Over" So does that mean at least double 33,600??? Just 33,600, comes out to 2,240 homes at 15 per home. Hard to believe, but there's no reason NOT to believe you. Surprised your not still selling at Loews (with all those sales) Anyway, I think I'll just go to Dunkin Donuts, and get my donuts there. Time for Popcorn!! Enough said on sprinkler donuts.
