1 Remember, a good mix will produce a great
master.
2 Do not make your final mix
levels too loud. 6-to -10 dbfs will work in most cases.

Wikipedia.
3 Do NOT put a processor
or plug-in (ie compressor/limiter) across the Master Bus
4 Try not to master mp3,mp4/
aac. These are compressed audio files that are lower in quality.
You want to deliver your master formatted to offer the best
quality. We advise to use 24 bit 44.1K AIFF or Wav files. Bwf
and SD2 are also ok. We
can also work with final mix audio copies from cds however, these
are 16 bit by default.. Usable, but not the best format.
5 Including a song reference of a cd that you like is always
a great idea and helps us to pinpoint what you want your finished
master to sound like.
