Impulse is the product of a net force acting on an object and the time during which it is in contact with the object. It is also equivalent to the change in momentum, which is the product of the mass and the change in its velocity.
Therefore, an impulse can be increased in the following way:
a) increasing the time of contact
b) increasing the net force
c) increasing the change in velocity
d) increasing the mass of the object

If the impulse is caused by periodic vibration, it may increase if the vibration level reaches resonance, in which the vibration increases in intensity with increased time

Impulse = change in momentum over time so either have a larger change in momentum over some specified time or shorten the time over which the change in momentum occurs.
