Have you ever used a referral scheme for your business?

One of my most recent clients suggested I might like to set up such a scheme so that clients could get a discount if they refer new customers to me. Does anyone do this? I'd love to hear some real life experience.

I won't be wanting to use a referral link or anything, more of a direct referral where people will just tell me who they have referred and they'll get the discount as long as the person uses me as I'm only a small business at the moment. 

Worth it do you think? I partly think it would be nice to think people will recommend a good business without any incentive, but it does encourage recommendations I guess. As my client retention is very good, new business would easily make up for any discount awarded.

What do you think oh lovely people of the forum? Any tips? Pitfalls?  or
