Don't know how your new site is getting thousands of hits, if it's some sort of paid traffic it could be robot fakes or redirected off-shore users that simply won't convert.

I suggest having more real product sample images on your home pages and under the categories, it would be better to just remove the empty pages like Featured products from the menu, blank pages don't please the search spiders.

Load times (from the U.S.) were kinda slow, felt like near 10 seconds load time for the home page, that could conceivably cause a near 30% bounce rate from impatient visitors. Page load times are a search rank factor as well.

Be sure you you employ the most detailed tracking you can handle, the free Google analytics is as good as services for which some large stores pay thousands of dollars. Don't assume your first design iteration is ideal, simple layout changes can make measurable differences in conversion, track users at each stage of the sales funnel, how many exit the home page, how many exit a category without making a selection, of those reaching product pages how many add to cart, how many abort at the checkout page (that number can be surprisingly high, some people create a test purchase just to learn what the true final cost would be) The Google Webmaster Tools include a split tester so you can compare the results for 2 variations of a page design, for starters you could test if an improved hoe page lowers the bounce rate (people immediately exiting). Lots of traffic allows one to collect meaningful split test results more quickly. Some well funded big tie players will use expensive PPC traffic just to test the conversion rates with known qualified prospects more quickly, although they may not profit financially from the exercise.

If Google Analytics is too much at least get the easy to add free Statcounter.com installed so you can talk visitor count instead of hits.

I open your link and shocked there is nothing to look. I means look at your font family, page layout and many more things.
Your facebook button should be at top. I think navigation bar is best for facebook button. Add more buttons Twitter, LinkedIn. I suggest you your button size should not more than 32*32. Also use light color button.
