Offer a high end hotel stay at their facility for the night before.
Have morning ‘classes’ on what to do in case of an emergency both in space and on the ground.
A basic physical to make sure you can take the stress of the trip.
A pre lunch launch.
An after ‘mission’ debriefing.
Hand out the souvenirs and photos.

Pretty much everything before the flight is just to add to the excitement and to fluff up the value.
