Additional information on the state of your business, your skills, and the different marketing strategies you have tried before would be immensely helpful so that people could give their two-cents. Perhaps the reason that your business is not doing so well is the same reason that it is hard to give you advice right now: people do not know you or what you can do, making your name very easy to forget. For a locksmith business, one thing that could give you an edge is being able to open special locks that can't be opened by just about anyone with a hammer.

You can best contact them either through email or LinkedIn. Do you have a website? It would also help if you do have one.

Speaking of strategy, there are at least four words I could give to survive the recession: Price, Quality, Innovation and Efficiency. We'll have to just focus on minimum profit.
