This case study is part of the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate. The primary objective is to analyze smart device usage data from non-Bellabeat devices (specifically FitBit data) to uncover consumer habits, usage trends, and activity patterns.
The focus of this analysis is applied directly to the Bellabeat Leafβa smart wellness tracker designed for women that monitors activity, sleep, and stress. The insights gained are used to provide high-level, data-driven marketing recommendations to guide Bellabeatβs growth strategy.
This project follows the 6-phase Google Data Analytics methodology: [1. Ask] β [2. Prepare] β [3. Process] β [4. Analyze] β [5. Share] β [6. Act]

Weekly Activity Patterns & "The Sunday Slump" Peak Days: Users are most active on Tuesdays (8,125 steps) and Saturdays (8,153 steps). Lowest Day: A noticeable drop in activity occurs on Sundays (6,933 steps) β a ~15% drop from peak days. -- Query: Average Steps by Day of Week SELECT FORMAT_DATE('%A', ActivityDate) AS day_of_week, ROUND(AVG(TotalSteps), 0) AS avg_steps FROM `my-project-2-492717.fit_bit_data.daily_activity` GROUP BY day_of_week ORDER BY avg_steps DESC; #### π Phase 5: Share (Data Visualization) The chart highlights the **Sunday Slump**, showcasing the drop in average steps over the weekend rest period: *(Note: Visualized in Tableau with Y-axis scaled between 6,000 - 8,500 steps to clearly emphasize weekly behavioral variances).* --- ## π― Phase 6: Act (Final Recommendations) Based on the findings, the following marketing strategies are recommended for the **Bellabeat Leaf**: 1. **Targeted "Sunday Motivation" Push Notifications:** * *Insight:* Significant activity drop on Sundays (6,933 steps). * *Action:* Configure the Bellabeat App to send friendly Sunday morning reminders or mini-challenges to encourage users to stay active on rest days. 2. **Inactivity & Sedentary Alerts:** * *Insight:* Users spend a majority of their day in sedentary minutes. * *Action:* Highlight the **Leaf's vibration alert feature** in marketing campaigns, positioning it as a tool to break long sitting hours for improved health. 3. **The "Bridge the Gap to 10K" Campaign:** * *Insight:* Average user steps (7,638) fall short of the 10,000 daily goal. * *Action:* Introduce gamified app badges and digital rewards for users making the leap from 7,000 to 10,000 steps. 4. **Personalized Sleep-Activity Correlations:** * *Insight:* Higher physical activity directly impacts deep sleep cycles. * *Action:* Deliver meaningful in-app summaries (e.g., *"Walking 2,000 more steps today improved your deep sleep quality by 15%!"*). --- ## βοΈ Author **Eiman Kamal Hassan** *Data Analyst*
