Making the QR Code the Front Door

The technology worked. Adoption was the problem. A kit on every counter fixed it.

The Challenge

CareCredit had built a faster, better application path — custom links and QR codes that let patients privately see if they prequalify, right from the practice. The technology worked. Adoption was the problem: QR and custom-link applications were stuck at a small share of total volume, because busy practices had nothing in hand to make the new path visible to patients.

The Approach

Mindshare designed the Practice Success Kit — a turn-key, patient-facing display package a practice could deploy the day it arrived: kit cover, sticker sheets, surface clings, and an easel-back counter display, each carrying one message ("It takes two steps to help patients get care") and one action: scan to see if you prequalify.

The kit shipped to 63,000 practices by direct mail, backed by a four-touch email campaign to 90,000 practices that showed office teams exactly how to use each piece — where to place displays, what to say to patients, and how to get their custom QR code.

The Results

63,000
practices received the kit by direct mail
the share of applications starting from a QR code or custom link — stepping up visibly with each email drop
90,000
practices reached with the four-touch how-to email series
Double-digit
year-over-year growth in both transactions and net credit sales during the campaign period

Why It Worked

Adoption campaigns fail when they explain instead of equip. Every practice got physical materials that did the explaining for them, and every email removed one more step between 'sounds good' and 'it's on my counter.' When the ask is effortless, behavior follows.
