What accessibility requirements apply to discount campaign displays?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm concerned about making our discount campaigns and promotional displays accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. I want to ensure our marketing materials, pop-ups, and discount notifications are not just visually appealing but also compliant with web accessibility standards. What specific accessibility guidelines should I follow when designing and implementing discount campaign displays to create an inclusive shopping experience?
