LockSub App Launch in Wokingham

The long awaited launch of LockSub is nearly here.

The app will be available to download in the app store and google play any day now.

So how will we generate work to keep locksmiths busy?

This has been the main question along the way during development of the LockSub app, the app has been developed by locksmiths in the UK who have a strong marketing background, links to the biggest company in the world and substantial investment from investors, our aim is to roll out work slowly to test the waters and see where the demand for jobs are. we plan to use a combination of local press, television advertising and search marketing to keep up with the demand for locksmith jobs.

Not enough work for everyone?

If you have been in the industry for a while you will be wise to the fact there is simply not enough work to keep all locksmiths busy 247, this is the reason for huge advertising costs and fierce competition with the UK and worldwide locksmith industry, unfortunately to be successful within the industry you not only require great locksmiths skills, a good reputation but in addition we believe you require advanced knowledge in the marketing sector and online market place.

It goes without saying the locksmiths are not marketers and marketers are not locksmiths, this is why at LockSub we believe to have unique set of skills that enable us to A. Keep locksmiths busy and B. Be able to drive enough traffic through various sources to be able to keep up with the demand for work.

After research we found the majority of Locksmiths used a combination of Google Ads, Bing Ads, Google My Business and directories to keep them busy.

Now Google Ads as we know has become too expensive for independent locksmiths to compete with the national locksmith Wokingham companies and in addition we have all read horror stories of customers being charged extortionate amounts for sub standard work. With a combination of LockSub and Locksub Approved we aim to provide the end customer with professional, vetted and verified locksmith at a reasonable price. Simply put we supply the jobs to capable and reputable locksmiths in the UK.

Many thanks for your patience and we look forward to working with you in the very near future.
