But the growth in extensive marketing has helped push the brokerage to new heights. “Over the years, our marketing plan has evolved. With the advent of the Internet, it’s become much more than just putting a listing in a paper/magazine, placing a sale bill and putting up a ‘for sale’ sign. We now use as many sources as possible to market the properties.” In other words, today’s real estate marketing is a multi-faceted approach.

Hayden Outdoors utilizes a state-of-the-art property marketing campaign that includes all facets of media forms.

Custom property brochures and collateral, including large scale maps, are created so that website visitors can download and view. These custom packages are also sent to an exclusive list of qualified buyers.
Finding the buyers
After all, this is the name of the game. Research shows that on average over 90 percent of real estate searches start online, which is why countless hours and resources are spent in making sure listed properties get seen by thousands of interested buyers.

Hayden Outdoors will also showcase each property on the best land and ranch websites, including LandsofAmerica, Landwatch, LandAndFarm, LandFlip, Wall Street Journal, OpenFences, LandBrokerMLS, LuxuryRealEstate, LuxuryRanchRealEstate and more. Social media increasingly refers buyers to the website so extensive hours are spent posting information on their Blog, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. In addition, properties are displayed on over 1000 the other websites for mass exposure using the exclusive Hayden Outdoors property syndication module.
Print marketing
Hayden Outdoors properties receive rich media print marketing through national ads that are placed in multiple national, regional and local magazines and newspapers, along with quarterly Magazine Ads in Land Report, Open Fences, Farmand Ranch, Western Livestock Journal, Gray’s Sporting Journal, High Plains Journal, LAND magazine and more. All listings are promoted in the Hayden Outdoors Catalog, along with direct mailing packets to VIP clients, buyers, sellers and neighboring properties.
TV and video marketing
Nothing tells a story of a property like a quality video, which is why Hayden Outdoors will film ranches for sale and produce high quality videos showcasing the lifestyle, characteristics and attributes that these great properties offer. The video then appears on the Hayden Outdoors website and its YouTube Channel, along with advertising on the Outdoor Channel, Sportsman Channel, and Hayden Outdoors new television show series entitled Life on the Land, which premieres in 2020 on the RF-DTV Channel.
What clients can expect
Hayden Outdoors is built on the relationships between its clients and its brokers, as well as an in-depth knowledge of the farm, ranch and recreational real estate market. Testimonials from clients share the results of their partnership with Hayden Outdoors.
“The purpose of this letter is to recommend and congratulate the Hayden Outdoors Team, headed by John Leo Hayden and Dax Hayden for the successful sale of the Dunne Valley Ranch. My name is Steve Dunne, President of Dunne, Inc. the owner of the 21,000+ acre Dunne Valley Ranch located on the Oklahoma border south of Dodge City, Kansas. The ranch has been in our family since 1941 and after much soul searching my two brothers and eight cousins came to the conclusion that holding on to the ranch for prosperity sake created more potential for family strife than selling. Ultimately, we ended up with top dollar for the surface and kept all the minerals for future generations. John Leo Hayden, Dax Hayden and the entire Hayden Outdoors team worked tirelessly and greatly helped in selling the property. I will recommend Hayden Outdoors to my friends who have farm, ranch or recreational land to sell.
Martin Zehner, manager of Box Ranch says, “We used Leo Hayden of Hayden Outdoors Properties of Goodland, Kansas, when we sold the Box Ranch, a partnership ranch. We were very satisfied with the mannerism in which he handled this transaction. It was a total business venture, handled in the best professional manner. I would totally recommend them in handling a property to be sold. If we were selling or purchasing additional property there would never be a question of who to use; it would be Hayden Outdoors Properties. Thank you!”
One in a million…special ranch for sale: Cimarron Valley Ranch
Every once in a while, a listing comes along that is truly “that one in a million!” Located near Elkhart, KS and Keyes, OK on the Kansas, Oklahoma and Colorado State lines, Cimarron Valley Ranch offers potential buyers a 45,000-acre ranch featuring:
• diverse terrain
• working (ranch) facilities with improvements
• ample water and pivot irrigation
• excellent and varied hunting opportunities
• a beautiful lodge
• resting between Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands
The diverse terrain includes grassy fields, rock cliffs, cottonwood groves, yucca and sage brush scattered throughout the land with elevation ranging from 3,150 to 3,540 feet. Along 22 miles of the Cimarron River, native grasses and riparian vegetation can be found. The area climate includes mild winters, hot dry summers and cool evenings. Spring and fall seasons have moderate temperatures accompanied by an occasional windy day. Precipitation, usually less than 16 inches per year, is concentrated from April to September. Snowfall is minimal and short-lived.
Cimmaron Valley Ranch offers a working ranch with abundant grass and over 1,600 mother cows, but the ranch can handle up to 2,000. The cattle operation is about stewardship and balance between the improvement of wildlife habitat and the management and improvement of cattle grazing resources. The ranch is very well-watered, and the fences and working facilities are in good condition. The river bottom and the diversity of the landscape allow for rotational grazing. With an excellent mix of grasses during all seasons and access to running calves on wheat pasture and triticale, this operation will put excellent pounds of gain on cattle.
An ample water supply is an important feature with an excellent water table. Currently, 10 current pivots are in place facilitating 1,750 irrigated acres, while 10 new permits are in place for an additional 1,550 irrigated acres, along with numerous water tanks and ponds.
Another important quality of Cimarron Valley Ranch are the excellent hunting opportunities. A sound game management plan ensures quality whitetail/ mule deer populations, along with a herd of Rocky Mountain elk. Upland hunting includes wild turkey, blue quail, scaled quail, and pheasants. There is also potential for outstanding waterfowl hunting.
Finally, there is the 7,000 square foot lodge featuring seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Built in 2005, the lodge offers an open floor plan with high ceilings and an indoor woodburning fireplace. The lodge sits over-looking the Cimarron River and the spectacular river bottom, while a trap range is located just out the back door.
