I, too have tried this method.  I got the idea at the Reno convention from 
Robert Guenther's class on business.  I would recommend that class highly to 
anyone who plans to forfeit their 4th of July family plans and attend the 
convention this year.  I don't recall the name of the class, but if Bob 
Guenther is running it, you'll learn alot about increasing your business.  

Unfortunately, this specific idea didn't seem to work for me.  After about a 
year and a half of informing clients of my referral rebate coupons, only one 
person ever cashed one in.  So I just stopped mentioning it.   I even had 
cute coupons printed up, with a keyboard border and logo, and all.  It seemed 
like a good idea. (Still does...)  It just didn't work.

Got alot of other great tips from Mr. Guenther, though.
