erhöhen, verstärken


Explanation:
"Kurz gesagt, erhöhen (verstärken) Sie den Ueberraschungseffekt in Ihrer Praxis, indem Sie den roten Teppich für alle Arten von Patienten ausrollen."

Synonym zu "amp up" ist "amplify" und dessen Uebersetzung passt hier in seiner ursprünglichsten und unspektakulärsten Form am besten, finde ich.
