If the room has never been warm, there might not be enough insulation in the exterior walls. Insulating exterior walls is the best way to improve your home's heating efficiency and effectiveness.
If this is a new problem (i.e. the room has been warm before), than perhaps the previous answer is correct in that a vent is not adjusted properly or the system needs to be rebalanced - call a forced-air heating professional to check the system, and ask them to recommend other easy fixes at the same time...

Look at the ductwork that goes to that room, if you can trace it down from underneath by the furnace, and look for a "volume damper", these are in the ductwork and will have a little handle or wing-nut kind of thing on them to adjust the airflow before it's finally adjusted at the registers. Make sure that one is open, and if that doesn't help, close down some of the others a bit, which will direct more air towards that room. Same with the registers in the other rooms...closing them down some will force more air into the cold room.
Check the cold air return...be sure it's not blocked.
And, like others suggested...make sure the ductwork didn't come apart somewhere.

Make sure it's vent is open. Usually it's the furthest from the scource of heat, faces the side with the most wind and shade, door being kept closed preventing proper circulation or in the unusual case in forced air systems an obstruction in the duct. On hot water systems, Be sure all the valves are on. Some times there isn't a lot of simple solutions.

First check the vents to see if any air is coming through.
When I bought my house. I had one vent that had no air coming
through it. My b.f at the time was an A/C & Heating man. He went under the house and the heat pipes had come apart. He put it
back and screwed it together so it wouldn't happen again. It works fine now. Good luck.

specific the gadget makes use of a similar blower. i might say the unit needs a recharge of refrigerant. If the main unit is exterior something might have brought about a leak in the traces. Spend the $$ and contact a service tech or spend the summer time Boiling warm...

The vents in that room could be closed

Check the vents. You may be surprised to find that a vent is blocked or closed. That happened at my mom's house.

That may be a disconnected duct or poor duct design. So many variables. Hire an HVAC tech to trouble shoot.

Draught-proofing maybe.
