True to the spirit of an entrepreneur, many of the top November 2015 new ventures employ creative thinking when it comes to business opportunities. Some of the most outrageous examples of new businesses include bookstores that only sell romance novels, apps that will tell prospective home buyers if anyone has died in a residence and "billboards" that occupy space on a traveler's suitcase.
At the same time that many new start-ups are appearing online, there are just as many new delivery services being offered to ensure customers get their web orders as quickly as possible. For instance, Etsy's ASAP feature makes it possible for shoppers to buy and receive an item in a single day, while A Better Florist offers 90-minute flower deliveries.
